Why study Coastal and Ocean Science?
Study a minor in coastal and ocean science to dive into the scientific study of coastal processes, oceanography, ecology, marine geology, and marine conservation. You will examine the intricate relationship between climate, coastal systems and marine environments to solve complex challenges facing our oceans. Gain fieldwork experience at UQ's Heron Island Research Station on the southern Great Barrier Reef and UQ's Moreton Bay Research Station on North Stradbroke Island. Led by Australia's leading marine researchers, you will learn to apply a wide range of evidence-based environmental and conservation strategies to protect vital coastal habitats and marine ecosystems across the globe.
