VISIT: UC•AO TRAVELS TO OKINAWA INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

Members of the UC•AO visited colleagues at the Okinawa Institute for Science and Technology (OIST) in Okinawa, Japan. They had enjoyable and productive meetings with the Institute’s president, provost, dean, and other members of the OIST team. They discussed collaborations and ways of making large-scale impacts that address climate change and other important topics in oceanography. UC•AO members toured the impressive facilities, and some had the opportunity to explore coral reefs in the area in preparation for future fieldwork.
