Project Synopsis
Seniors majoring in Oceanography complete a year-long sequence of courses during which they design a field experiment to test a hypothesis, conduct the experiment on an oceanic cruise, analyze the data, and write a research report in the form of a journal article. Since 2006, Louise Richards, Fisheries & Oceanography Librarian, has worked with students and instructors to collect and input the senior theses into ResearchWorks. Students sign permissions slips and agree to archive their work while retaining copyright. There are now 152 senior theses in ResearchWorks and more theses will soon be added.
