COAST Technology Centers
COAST is developing Technology Centers to address critical national environmental issues. These cyber-enabled virtual Centers link people, data and equipment together to create an unparalleled, robust statewide resource that maximizes the use of coastal research and education capabilities throughout the 23-campus CSU system. The Centers provide the State with sound expertise and practical solutions to our most pressing environmental issues, while enhancing education within the CSU and training the next generation of college graduates with skills necessary to meet the coming challenges.
Six Centers are currently being established:
- Applied Organism Health
- Climate Change Analysis
- Environmental Quality
- Geospatial Analysis
- Marine & Estuarine Policy
- Marine Ecosystem Dynamics
COAST is currently developing criteria to guide the establishment of these Centers and additional Centers in a manner that is consistent with COAST’s mission and CSU policy.
