            its specific research themes and related rationales and
            approaches.­­­­­ <br>

          <p class="MsoNormal">Relevant background topics from marine
            ecology, evolutionary biology, and coastal oceanography will
            also be reviewed. The seminar will include presentations by
            members of the UCSB marine science community who are working
            in the SBC LTER. Graduate students will be introduced to
            researchers, faculty, post-docs, and other graduate students
            who are currently conducting SBC LTER-related research. <br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br>

            two-fold: (1) to acquaint new and continuing graduate
            students with the scope of proposed research in SBC LTER IV,
            and (2) to review past and ongoing research that the new
            program will build on. Please consider attending this
            seminar, especially if your dissertation research is related
            to the SBC LTER IV and if you are supported by the project.</p>
