SeaTrust Institute
IGI Global's partnership with SeaTrust Institute now includes a forum for collaboration and a blog on the joint Consortium on Climate Change and Population Health. The blog is public while the forum will be a secure working space for groups participating in the Consortium.
SeaTrust Institute was honored to have Dr. Wilson designated as a delegate at the Gusi Peace Prize ceremony in Manila, Philippines in November 2007. She supported Dr. Farland Stanley, archaeologist at the University of Oklahoma, in his acceptance of the Gusi Peace Prize award. Dr. Wilson was interviewed about SeaTrust Institute and its mission on an international television broadcastwhich aired in over 30 countries.
Dr. Wilson and Gusi Prize awardee, Elias Chin, Vice President of Palau investigated the potential for a student exchange between Palau and Washington's coastal communities. Palau is located just North of the country of New Guinea and is a tropical, coral reef ecosystem directly experiencing effects from climate change and rising sea levels.
