faculty for Fall 2023 across a range of disciplines related to water and the 
environment. The Water School is an interdisciplinary enterprise that brings

resilience, ecosystem integrity, health and wellbeing, and restoration and 
remediation. 

The Water School encourages nominations for and applications from qualified

the region such as the degradation and loss of essential offshore and nearshore 
habitats. Areas of specific teaching and research interests might include 
connecting socioeconomics to restoration decisions, integrating the use of 
comprehensive ecosystem plans in conservation and management, or evaluating 
changes in marine ecosystem services as a result of climate change. Applicants

mentorship of junior faculty in the development of their own research agendas.
