Faculty, staff, and student researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego faculty can have these enhanced profiles, which include biographies, publications, and research interests.

Need help or need Scripps Web Services to set up a profile for you? Submit a support request

Here's what we need from you to start (your CV will do if it includes this information):

  • A bullet list of research interests.
  • A bullet list of your degrees.
  • A list of your publications.
  • A headshot.

Where the pieces come from

Much of the content of the research profiles is pulled from other sources and dynamically incorporated into your site.

Editing what's on the home page

Changing your photo

The ideal photo is a square of at least 140 pixels on a side with you in the center, since the system will crop in from the edges.

  1. On the home page, at the top of the page, click "Edit Page."
  2. Click the bright orange "Edit with Cornerstone" button.
  3. When the editing panel opens up, click on the photo under "Image" on the left.
  4. The current photo will disappear; click on the box again to start the upload dialog and navigate to wherever you saved your new photo.
  5. Select "Insert into post"
  6. Click on "Save" in the lower left-hand corner of the page.

Editing internal pages

  1. Navigate to the page you want to edit and click "Edit Page" in the top toolbar.
  2. This will open the page for direct editing of the body text or title. (Note that some pages such as the "Publications" and "Classes" pages will only display a shortcode that loads your information from a database. You can't edit that content directly, but you can add text above or below the shortcode.)
  3. Click on the "toolbar toggle" button to see a few additional editing tools. Editing content on these pages is fairly straightforward, just like formatting email or Microsoft Word documents.
  4. Use the "Add Media" button to upload photos or documents such as PDFs and insert them into the body field.
  5. Make sure to click on the "Update" button when you are done to save your changes.
