Marines Sciences and CESE are Natural Partners

The University of Connecticut's Center for Environmental Science and Engineering (CESE) bills itself as a leader and promoter of interdisciplinary research on the UConn campus. Naturally, CESE must have a particular interest and fondness for the Department of Marine Sciences (DMS) which is interdisciplinary in nature. DMS faculty Heidi Dierssen, George McManus, Ann Bucklin, Senjie Lin, Rob Mason, Tom Torgersen, Penny Vlahos, Pieter Visscher, Evan Ward and Bob Whitlatch are all associated with CESE in one way or another. Marine Science students have been able to take advantage of CESE's goals by leveraging resources made available by CESE to help carry out interdisciplinary work. DMS Students who have utilized CESE grants and funding in the past include Christina Haska, Kim Gallagher, Maille Lyon, James Reinhardt and others. Students should be aware of upcoming deadlines for new CESE Scholarships.
