SCORE: Student Collaborations for Ocean Research and Education

A central mission at Stanford is to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to share ideas about research, education and outreach in order to solve today’s most pressing environmental problems. Interdisciplinary approaches are particularly critical for marine environmental issues, which are often transnational and involve complex problems in fields such as biology, engineering, economics, and oceanography. However, although a large number of laboratories at Stanford are conducting world-class marine research, no formal forum currently exists in which Stanford graduate students with common ocean-related interests and research goals can interact.
