What's New?
My name is Qing Fields, and I’m an SRJC student dual majoring in Biology and Natural Sciences, with plans to transfer to CSUMB in the fall of 2026 to study Marine Science and Scientific Illustration. I have an enormous passion for marine invertebrate ecology and evolution, and this internship was the perfect fit for me to explore my interests while helping contribute to meaningful research.
Hi, I’m Lucas, a SRJC student who is transferring to UC Davis in the fall of 2025. At Davis, I will be majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology. This summer, I had the pleasure of working under Serina Moheed in the Brown lab to further explore my scientific interests.
My time at BML was spent working with Dr. Boles on researching abalone (Haliotis spps.) reproduction and larval success. Dr. Boles has spent her career working with California abalone, investigating the effects of climate change factors on developing larval and juvenile abalone.
Science Meets The Sea
California’s coastal regions are a cornerstone of its economy and cultural identity. However, evolving challenges like climate change and resource extraction demand innovative, cross-disciplinary solutions. The UC Davis Coastal and Marine Sciences Institute, with its premier facilities and strategic location, is uniquely equipped to address these issues, forging vital partnerships to ensure the sustainable management of our invaluable coastal and marine resources.
Major Developments
Our Marine and Coastal Science Major emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of marine sciences and hands-on experiences as interns or researchers.
Coastal Connections
Undergraduates can spend a Summer Session or Fall Quarter studying on the coast in exciting, integrated courses taught at the Bodega Marine Laboratory.
Our Spaces, Your Science
Visiting researchers can utilize on-site reserve, laboratory, library and housing resources at the Bodega Marine Laboratory and Reserve.
