“The nation is concerned about ocean pollution, rising sea levels, the health of fisheries and coral reefs, and the possibility that the circulation of the ocean itself may be significantly altered by global warming resulting from fossil-fuel burning. Given these imperatives, and as long as there is student interest, there will be University support for activities and programs that involve undergraduates in marine science.”
“Water-based activities and studies are too much a part of our academic and leisure lives to allow a little thing like location to deter us. Penn State wants to make sure our faculty and students are exposed to and can participate in cutting-edge research and activities, so we use our creativity and innovation to get us there.”
