Dr. Rod Fujita, 2024 Hatfield Lavern Weber Prize Winner Join us as Dr. Rod Fujita describes some of the proposals to accelerate the ocean’s ability to absorb and store more carbon to help fight climate change. He will also pose questions on whether these proposals could work, how safe they are, and whether they are ethical. These are important issues that will be discussed as proposals to accelerate carbon dioxide removal by the oceans become more serious and attract more financing. Dr. Fujita is the Associate Vice President of Research and Development and Lead Senior Scientist II at the Environmental Defense Fund. Expanding our campus In June, $16.5 million in funding was approved for a 34,000-square-foot housing project to accommodate primarily upper division and graduate students and visiting professionals and staff studying or working at Hatfield. This complex was conceived as a response to the housing shortage in the Newport area, and it will ease a portion of the local housing demand. The complex will include 70+ studio-style apartments and a small number of two-bedroom apartments. The new housing will be a quick walk from the Hatfield campus and located outside of the tsunami zone. On the Leading Edge The Hatfield Marine Science Center is a distinguished marine laboratory located in Newport, Oregon. Now in its 55th year of operation, Hatfield serves as Oregon State University’s coastal campus and as an oceanographic research base for six state and federal agencies. It is also a resource for K-12 educators and the public. At Hatfield, we excel in student research opportunities and experiential instruction. We host a thriving summer internship program and offer an array of academic programs for students in community college through post-doc.
