- University of California Division of War Research
The University of California Division of War Research (UCDWR) was created at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego campus during World War II to aid the U.S. Navy in war-related research.
“Some $12 million in research funds were granted to Scripps during the war to undertake research in submarine acoustics.” ... “The Navy also provided funding for a series of important Scripps expeditions to the Pacific, including several linked to Pacific atomic tests.” (Benson 530) [Benson, Keith Rodney (ed.), Philip F. Rehbock (ed.). Oceanographic History: The Pacific and Beyond. Seattle:University of Washington Press. 2002.]
