“Unlike other funding programs, which can be safe but slow, Big Ideas for Oceans grants support unconstrained creativity and high-risk, potentially high-reward projects that foster interdisciplinary collaborations across the university,” said Fiorenza Micheli, chair of the Oceans Department in the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability and co-director of the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions. “Time is of the essence. We have to pursue bold, creative solutions – even though some might fail.”

Big Ideas for Oceans grants fuel ‘unconstrained creativity’ The inaugural awards will enable research teams to pursue interdisciplinary ocean and coastal projects that address impacts of environmental change in the Bay Area and beyond. As rising temperatures accelerate coral bleaching, fuel toxic algal blooms, and unleash more powerful storms, the world’s ...
