UCSC's Global Change Ecology Field Quarter - A Huge Success in Sitka, Alaska - Updated on 4/1/2025
The winter quarter field class spent a month diving, surveying the intertidal and conducting lab experiments based out of the Sitka Sound Science Center. The field portion of the class was an overwhelming success with 18 student scientific divers and 5 instructional staff conducting over 250 dives accounting for 9300 minutes under the frigid 40F water. This included shore dives and dives from 3 different boats, in support of 4 undergraduate and 1 graduate student project investigating kelp forest soundscapes, macro algal communities, abalone morphology and subtidal zonation patterns. Thank you everyone for such an awesome trip!
