ABOUT UC•AO
In 2022, the Uehiro Foundation on Ethics and Education, chaired by Mr. Tetsuji Uehiro, established the Uehiro Center for the Advancement of Oceanography (UC•AO) in the Department of Oceanography at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The Foundation is a public foundation whose mission covers moral education, international communication, and the advancement of research, with ethical research and education at the center of its work. UC•AO extends that mission by providing support, resources, and opportunity to faculty and students engaged in oceanographic research, and by offering a venue where discourse and debate help advance research and inform policy. The Center works toward the research goals set out in the Department of Oceanography’s Strategic Plan, building on the Department’s established expertise and partnerships, and many of the questions our members address align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
