Eight students will be presenting the summer work at the Ocean Sciences Meeting in March 2022!
The Maryland Sea Grant Bookstore will be closed for the winter holidays from Monday, December 15th to Friday, January 2nd and will not be taking orders during that time.

A number of students have presented the results of their summer research at scientific conferences; students have also been co-authors in scientific papers with their advisors. The list below is a snapshot of some of student publications and presentations.
