Alumna’s ocean conservation research fueled by experiences at UH

Jennifer Smith attended a year-long exchange at UH Hilo and pursued graduate studies at UH Mānoa.

A high school student conducted award-winning research on marine sponges at the UH Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology.

Linguistics led the UH Mānoa rankings at No. 10 in the U.S. and No. 22 in the world.

UH researchers contributed more than 10,000 images of humpback whale tail flukes for the study which utilized artificial intelligence recognition.

The study assessed the potential impacts of the tower and emphasized the importance of protecting the valuable reef in Teahupo’o, Tahiti.

Six disciplines at UH Mānoa placed in the nation’s top 10%.

Whales move their singing away from shore throughout the day and return to the nearshore in the evening.

The application deadline for the 2025 Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship is February 15, 2024.

UH Hilo’s MEGA Lab co-hosted the camp to empower young people through bridging art and science.

Over the five-year grant period, the team expects to support approximately 250 scholars.
