The Arizona location for the school serves as the primary location for where students will take classes and engage with faculty.

The School of Ocean Futures central location is the Walton Center for Planetary Health at the ASU Tempe campus. The school’s faculty across three campuses has particular strengths in researching the present and future states of the oceans as part of Earth’s global climate system, its role in the global carbon cycle, as well as the health and diversity of its ecosystems, including plankton, fish, sea turtles and coral reefs.
