Description
The Captain Wayne Hasson Memorial Fellowship for Climate Change Research is offered by the Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF) to support independent research addressing the impacts of climate change in the ocean. The fellowship funds basic or applied research such as the effects of climate change on marine organisms, adaptation strategies, mitigation efforts, and management or policy responses. Funding can be used for fieldwork, research supplies, or participation in relevant scientific meetings, but not for salary, tuition, or living expenses. Applicants must submit a detailed research proposal outlining objectives, methods, and anticipated results, clearly demonstrating how their work will contribute to understanding or addressing ocean-related climate change challenges.
