The Wave Research Laboratory hosted 10 students from 8 different universities in the second year of it's three-year program. From late June to late August 2004, these students conducted research projects which focused on coastal processes and hazard mitigation with OSU faculty and graduate students. The table below gives details of each student, their mentor, and summer research project.There was more to the summer than research though!
