Description
The Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF) offers this fellowship to advance research addressing the challenges climate change presents for ocean ecosystems. Sponsored by the Hasson family in memory of their husband and father, Captain Wayne Hasson, it supports independent basic or applied research across disciplines including biology, geochemistry, engineering, resource management, and economics.
Research may examine observed or predicted climate impacts on marine organisms, adaptation to changing ocean temperature or pH, mitigation of climate change impacts, or ocean-related climate management and policy. Applicants must explain how the proposed use of the fellowship will advance efforts to address climate change impacts on ocean ecosystems.
