Student Research

October 31, 2020 in Florence, Oregon

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!
