The Team
The oceans are too big to work alone. Over the last few years, the lab has grown. Below, you can see who's working in the lab and how you can connect with them.
Well, first it was just me, Nick Hawco. Since I started at UHM in January 2020 as an Assistant Professor and have been working hard to get the lab ready for others to join in and collaborate.
I also teach OCN201: Science of the Sea, OCN320: Aquatic Pollution and OCN636: Aquatic Chemistry at UHM.
Since then the lab has grown, and is still growing. We're currently looking for a postdoc to join our team.
