Visiting Scholar Fellowships
Coastal Studies Scholar Program
Each year, the Coastal Studies Center invites departments to nominate a scholar to conduct independent work and teach one course while living in Bowdoin College housing. Since 2000, Coastal Studies has sponsored scholars representing a wide array of disciplines including the visial arts, biology, sociology and environmental history. See application guidelines and scholars for more information.
Doherty Marine Biology Postdoctoral Scholar
A generous challenge grant from the Henry L. and Grace Doherty Charitable Foundation has been used to endow the Doherty Marine Biology Visiting Scholar program, a two-year, visiting post-doctoral faculty position focused on marine and coastal studies. Daniel Thornhill is the current Doherty Marine Biology Postdoctoral Scholar.
Bowdoin Buoy Facility
The Bowdoin Buoy Facility (BBF), a scientific buoy near the Bowdoin College Coastal Studies Center in Harpswell Sound, was installed in December 2006 to study HABs (harmful algal blooms such as "red tide"). The buoy contains instrumentation to monitor temperatures, wind speed, current speed and direction, chlorophyll levels, and water clarity.
