Stanford’s Wrigley Field Program in Hawaii is an immersive quarter-long interdisciplinary program that investigates the Earth sciences, life sciences, and Hawaiian culture to address environmental issues that arise from the interaction between humans and nature. The program is designed for students interested in Earth systems, biology, geology, environmental sciences, and cultural anthropology. Led by Stanford faculty with extensive research and teaching experience in Hawaii, up to 20 students will spend 12 weeks working, studying, and living on the islands of Hawaii, Oahu, and Kauai.
We will explore Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the Kohala Forest Reserve, and Puako Reef on the Big Island. On Kaua’i we spend time exploring Koke’e State Park and the Grand Canyon of Waimea as well as the North Shore, where we work with local groups of the Waipa Foundation and Limahuli Garden and Preserve.
The program provides undergraduate students with the skills to characterize Hawaii’s natural environment and analyze the interface between humans and nature. The program will use an interdisciplinary Earth systems approach, the scientific method, and field-based inquiry to understand the Hawaiian Earth system and create potential solutions to pressing Hawaiian environmental issues.
This is not your standard study abroad program. While we work with numerous local groups, we spend the majority of our time living and working together. Students should be prepared to work long hours outdoors (including snorkeling!), participate in daily chores, share nearly all meals together, and have very little time to themselves. This program can be very challenging, but if you are up for a challenge it is an amazing and life changing experience.
