IMMERSE YOURSELF IN LEARNING!

The Oregon Institute of Marine Biology (OIMB) has convenient access to some of
the most spectacular places anywhere to study marine organisms and ecosystems.
We invite you to explore our website and discover what OIMB can offer in support
of your own educational and research goals.





LIFE IN THE LABORATORY

High quality natural seawater flows through all of the teaching and research
labs, enabling scientists to maintain a wide assortment of marine animals, such
as the giant Pacific octopus shown here, for experimentation and observation.





BIOLOGY OF LARVAL FORMS

Most of the resident faculty study early life-history stages (eggs, embryos,
larvae and juveniles) of marine animals. Their work is well supported by federal
agencies such as NSF and NOAA. This larva of a spionid polychaete was imaged
with a laser confocal microscope at OIMB.





AT SEA

OIMB has a small fleet of ships and boats for research and teaching. The RV
Pluteus, shown here, is equipped with an ROV, a remotely operated undersea
vehicle, as well as nets, dredges, grabs and oceanographic instrumentation.





WHALES, DEAD AND ALIVE

California gray whales, Orcas, Humpback whales, dolphins and an occasional blue
whale are seen from the shore and from our boats. OIMB is part of the National
Marine Fisheries Marine Mammal Stranding Network, so students have opportunities
to respond when mammals wash up on shore.





ROCKY SHORES

Gooseneck barnacles and mussels are among hundreds of animal species common on
the wave-swept rocky shore.





EDUCATION BY IMMERSION

At OIMB, students get their hands dirty and their feet wet. Our faculty guide
hands-on exploration of scientific frontiers from molecules to ecosystems and
from the beach to the deep ocean. Here, invertebrate zoology students dissect a
large Humboldt squid.





WHERE THE FOREST MEETS THE SEA

Diverse marine habitats on the Oregon Coast include rocky and sandy shores, bays
and estuaries, isolated coves, sea caves, extensive sand dunes and the open
Pacific. The entire ecosystem is framed by picturesque coniferous forest.





OREGON COAST

The coast of Oregon is famous for its rugged topography and spectacular scenery.
Waves are not always this big, but there are daily opportunities to interact
with nature in all of her splendor.





LIVE WHERE YOU STUDY

The OIMB experience is residential. Student stay in comfortable dorms and share
meals in our excellent dining hall. Quaint cottages and modern efficiency
apartments are available for visiting investigators and their families.





CLASSROOM STARS

OIMB classes meet all day long, interspersing laboratory projects with field
trips, boat trips and lectures. Here, students in Comparative Embryology induce
spawning in a variety of local sea stars.





BIRDS

OIMB is a superb site for the study of seabirds. Many species roost on the sea
cliffs, dunes and offshore islands.





ORCA ON THE BEACH

Curious beachwalkers look on as OIMB graduate students and faculty dissect a
freshly dead killer whale. The skeleton of this specimen will be featured In the
new Charleston Marine Life Center.





TIDEPOOLS!

Nearby Cape Arago is a classic study area for intertidal ecology and a popular
destination for tidepooling. OIMB classes use these sites as outdoor
“classrooms.”





STUDY ON THE OREGON COAST

University of Oregon students have unparalleled opportunities to study Marine
Biology on some of the most spectacular rocky shores anywhere. Individual
students and groups of students from other institutions are also welcome.





SURROUNDED BY WILDLIFE

Located in the little fishing village of Charleston, OIMB is surrounded by a
diversity of marine and estuarine habitats where wildlife both large and small
is easily observed.





THE EDGE OF THE SEA

The OIMB campus includes a protected salt marsh available for research projects.
The nearby 8000 acre South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve provides
additional opportunities for estuarine research.

MARINE BIOLOGY MAJOR

The University of Oregon offers a rigorous undergraduate major in Marine
Biology. Students receive solid training in modern biology for the first two
years, then spend at least three terms in residence at OIMB.

GRADUATE STUDIES

Ph.D. and M.S. degrees offered through the University of Oregon include
specialized course work and research. Graduate students affiliated with OIMB
laboratories work locally, up and down the Pacific Coast, and in deep-water
habitats throughout the world.

VISITING SCIENTISTS

OIMB is well equipped to support visiting scientists as well as visiting classes
from other institutions. Housing, office and laboratory space are offered at
reasonable rates, and most lab and field equipment is available to qualified
visitors. OIMB is a regular field-trip stop for numerous inland universities,
some of which teach month-long courses on the OIMB campus.
