Environmental Media

Research Groups

•    Carsey-Wolf Center (CWC) – Environmental Media Initiative

Current Projects and Collaborations

•    CWC/ DigitalOcean - Sampling the Sea: Fostering discussion of fisheries problems among a global population of young fish consumers, offering better information about links between fish consumption and production, allowing better consumption choices by students.

•    CWC/ DigitalOcean - Early  Career Ocean Scientist Network (ECOSNET): Developing a social network for ocean science, speeding up science result communication, improving international collaborations, building better policy support.

•    CWC/ DigitalOcean - Ocean Acidification Research Network: Bringing the network effects of DO to this vital research effort, supporting global discussions on the impacts of climate change on ocean chemistry, developing a platform for micro-article publication and data registration.

•    CWC/ DigitalOcean - Marine Protected Areas (MPAs): ECOSnet Groups solving common MPA problems, creating vast MPA Google Ocean content for public awareness, sharing data to discover common solutions, improving management of MPA efforts.
