Student Research
The Marine Affairs Program promotes聽interdisciplinary聽student professional development, network building and marine-related research through its student-led Graduate projects.
Graduate Projects:
Graduate Projects聽are supervised written research papers that are the culmination of the student鈥檚 scholarly pursuits and reflect their abilities for analysis, synthesis, organization of complex data, and a capacity for critical examination of planning and management issues. Graduate projects are a significant part of the MMM training, and include identifying a marine management problem, designing a research plan to investigate that problem, and then presenting results and synthesis of that investigation in a comprehensive written project.
Graduate projects can either take the form of a formal report or a manuscript suitable for peer-review publication. While publication of student research is not a requirement or expectation of the MMM program, some students projects are appropriate for publication. Students interested in publishing work one-on-one with their academic supervisors to evaluate whether their project is a good candidate for publication and prepare a manuscript.
Examples of past MMM graduate projects can be found on the聽.
