The graduate and research
programs are housed in the Marine Science Hall, which contains 24,000
square feet of research labs and office space. Available instrumentation
includes a carbon/nitrogen analyzer, TOC, nutrient and lipid analyzers,
several HPLCs and gas chromatographs, a scintillation counter, UV/VIS
fluorometers and spectrophotometers. Support equipment includes
balances, a refrigerated centrifuge, a lyophilizer, muffle furnaces and
ovens, research grade deionized water, computer equipment and the usual
complement of laboratory materials. Field gear includes high resolution
CTD's and current meters, oxygen

photometers,
refractometers, pH meters, a variety of trawls and other nets for
collecting, and a variety of water samplers.
A Wet Lab facility houses modular seawater systems for
research and education. A recirculating flume, larval
culture facilities, and other systems for experimental work on living
marine organisms are under construction in the Wet Lab.
Construction costs were partially funded by a grant from the National
Science Foundation. |
