Research Team


The research conducted by graduate and undergraduate students in the Climate and Coastal Ecosystem Laboratory (CCEL) bridges the sciences and the humanities. Each student brings a different perspective to studying climate-related problems.

The lab itself consists a multi-node computer cluster, SCUBA equipment, and a variety of field instruments for collecting physical, chemical and biological data in coastal environments.
