Program Description

Students in the marine biosciences program are exposed to a broad spectrum of modern approaches to understand the organization and function of biological systems in marine environments. The marine biosciences program is highly integrative as students are exposed to a wide range of subjects in their coursework and research projects, from molecular biology and biochemistry to ecology and ecosystem studies. Areas of faculty interest within the program span the ecology, physiology, genetics and molecular biology of plants, animals and microbes. Faculty research specializations are particularly concentrated in microbial physiology and molecular ecology, larval ecology and molecular biology, chemical ecology, fisheries ecology, aquacultural genetics and genomics, and wetland restoration. In addition to the sophisticated classroom and laboratory facilities available, students enjoy ready access to a variety of marine ecosystems near the Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes: dunes, salt marshes, mudflats, estuaries and the Atlantic Ocean. Field research takes place from the Arctic to the Antarctic, in environments ranging from coral reefs to deep-sea hydrothermal vents, to local salt marshes and coastal waters.
