We are a multidisciplinary research group devoted to study, stewardship, and stories of working waterfronts, coastal infrastructures, and oceans under conditions of globalization and environmental instability.
Transoceanic shipping and the planet’s hydrosphere define the global scope of the group’s interests, but we place particular emphasis on the marine environments of the Port of Baltimore, the greater Tidewater region, and the Atlantic world. We offer events and programs, courses, partnerships, and research opportunities.
