Student Research

Note: The 2020 State of the Coast may likely be modified due to COVID-19, we will keep you updated to any changes as they occur.

The student poster exhibition is a dedicated time when conference participants can view posters and interact with student researchers as they explain their marine-related research and results. The exhibition is an opportunity for students to showcase their research, gain professional experience, and network.

Annual Student Poster Exhibition

State of the Coast invites contributions from advanced undergraduates (juniors or seniors), recent graduates and graduate students.

We welcome poster submissions from any discipline related to issues and opportunities facing the marine environment: biology, anthropology, law, engineering, policy, chemistry, business, ecology, environmental science, management, and more!

The connection of the topic with the marine environment/coast of Oregon
Submitted on time with all required pieces and in a professional manner. (timeliness, completeness, abstract not exceeding 250 words)

Note that accepted poster presenters were judged at the conference on two things: 1) The design and ability of your poster to effectively visually communicate research in an accessible way to a broad audience with mixed interests. 2) Your ability to verbally communicate in an effective way to a broad audience with mixed interests.
