Abby Brown, Oregon Sea Grant’s 2008 Water Resources Fellow, is featured in a recent post in Oregon State University’s “Powered by Orange” blog.

A master’s student in  water resources policy and management with a minor in women’s studies, Brown spent last year as as Sea Grant Water Resources Fellow at the Oregon Water Resources Department. This fall, according to the OSU blog, she’s in Bangalore, India, working with Arghyam, a non-governmental organization dedicated to financing, evaluating and supporting water projects throughout the country.

Brown is chronicling her experiences in her own blog, Water for the Ages.

The water resources fellowship is one of several offered each year through the Sea Grant Scholars  program, which provides graduate and undergraduate students with opportunities to  learn about resource policy and management by working with selected state and federal resource offices.

Sea Grant is accepting applications through Sept. 18 for the Robert E. Malouf Marine Studies Scholarship, which provides financial support for a graduate student working in a marine studies field compatible with the Sea Grant mission. Learn more about this and other Sea Grant Scholars opportunities.
