2004 Edwin W. Pauley Summer Program in Marine Biology

The Search for Homeostasis

June 21 to July 30, 2004

Each year at HIMB, a summer course in a specialized area of marine research is made possible through the generous support of the Edwin W. Pauley Foundation. The 2004 course will focus on developing a better understanding of the mechanisms that govern osmoregulation and how these relate to the regulation of growth and development, including reproduction. An important component for our consideration will be how certain anthropogenic compounds, such as pesticides, impact the endocrine regulation of these important physiological activities.

Goals

This summer’s program will provide opportunities for students to conduct research in environmental physiology of marine animals with guidance from experts from around the world.

We Shall:

  1. Review current information and discuss future research directions;
  2. Provide students with the cognitive and technical skills that will enable them to thrive in their profession; and
  3. Advance the state of knowledge through the publication of results of student research in peer-reviewed scientific journals.

Facilities

HIMB is located on Moku o L‘oe (Coconut Island) in Kane‘ohe Bay, O‘ahu and is a fully-equipped marine laboratory located 20 minutes from an international airport, 30 minutes from the main University of Hawai‘i campus.

Housing and Fees

Airfare and housing on Coconut Island will be covered by the program. Transportation to and from the airport will be provided. Medical insurance coverage is required and can be obtained locally at UH for those not covered by their own policies.

All inquires should be addressed to:
Dr. Larry Riley, Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, P.O. Box 1346, Kane‘ohe, HI 96744: email: lriley@hawaii.edu.

Closing date for applications is May 1, 2004.
