Oregon State University, a Land-Sea-Space-Sun Grant institution near the Oregon coast, brings together a wealth of
educational, research, and public outreach programs in marine science. Here you will find a world-class
oceanographic institute, the world's largest wave tank, a coastal marine science center, and a wide range of
marine programs, research facilities, and collaborative
education programs that cross departments to study the Earth as a system.
