Candace has been a stalwart member of the Bay Campus community since its founding. In 2021, she received URI\u2019s Distinguished Achievement Award. She enrolled in the URI Graduate School of Oceanography in 1961, the year it was established, and in 1967 was the first woman to earn a Ph.D. at GSO<\/p>\n

Few know Narragansett Bay better. As a professor of oceanography, Oviatt\u2019s research has focused on coastal ecosystems (including using experimental mesocosms) examining nutrient, carbon, and benthic water column cycling. Candace continues to pursue an active research program focused on climate change in coastal systems and to advise students, reinforcing her com\u00admitment to train the next generation of scientists.<\/p>\n

Thanks to her curious, hard-working, and collaborative nature, Candace is an internationally known expert in coastal ecology, and a role model and mentor for many.<\/p>\n

In October, 2021, a new bench on URI\u2019s Narragansett Bay Campus was dedicated in her honor\u2026.<\/p>\n
