From 1971 to 2026 the EOS Center served as a vibrant regional marine laboratory to support and train interdisciplinary, science-based problem solvers. Focus was on the San Francisco Estuary, California coastline and Gulf of the Farallones ecosystems, but research spanned the globe and included Antarctica and the Equatorial Pacific.
The EOS Center provided a forum for students, researchers and educators of natural and social sciences to employ a diversity of perspectives and disciplinary approaches while collaborating on research-based solutions to the problems confronting coastal ecosystems. SFSU awarded 300 masters' theses while the lab was operational.
