Undergraduate Research Symposium

Oceanography Students Present their Research

The Fifteenth Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium is a chance for undergraduates to present what they have learned through their research experiences to a larger audience. It also provides a forum for students, faculty, and the community to discuss cutting edge research topics and to examine the connection between research and education. The event includes poster and presentation sessions by students from all academic disciplines and all three UW campuses, plus invited guests.

A dozen of our undergraduates will be presenting work from diverse areas of oceanography.  A schedule of their presentations can be found here.
