NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PROGRAM—1965 333 
The University of Southern California 
Los Angeles 7, California 
In addition to the usual research laboratory facilities, the University of 
Southern California students have access to the outstanding library and 
marine biological collections of the Allan Hancock Foundation. Much of the 
work in marine sciences is made possible through the use of the Hancock 
Foundation's 110-foot vessel, VELERO IV. 
Biological research includes ecologic, systematic and biogeographic studies 
of marine animals and plants. Field investigations are in progress off the 
southern California coast, and in the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans. 
Geological research is concentrated in the shallow waters and on sediments 
of the continental margins with emphasis on quantitative studies of chemi- 
cal, physical and biological parameters.
