In honour of Elizabeth and at the request of her family, the UWA Oceans Institute is establishing the Elizabeth Pearce Marine Science Fund. Elizabeth loved the ocean and was about to start her research project as part of her Masters in Marine Science at UWA.
The Elizabeth Pearce Marine Science Fund will be used to support early-career researchers based in UWA’s Oceans Institute and their affiliated Schools, and will honour Elizabeth’s passion for marine science.
