SUMMARY:Open Lab Night — April 22
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO) Open Lab Night on Tuesday\, April 22. Explore four SkIO labs\, where you can tour the facilities and view various lab instruments. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak directly with SkIO scientists and ask questions about their research and equipment. See brief descriptions of the participating labs below. \nRSVP Here. \n\nAlexander Lab: Led by SkIO Director Dr. Clark Alexander\, the Alexander Lab specializes in geological oceanography\, studying a wide range of topics. One current area of focus is Georgia’s dynamic coastline\, where the lab examines sediment distribution patterns and how shorelines change in response to storms and rising sea levels. Using advanced Geographic Information System (GIS) tools and remote-sensing equipment\, the team monitors and tracks these changes along Georgia’s coast\, among other research projects.\nEdwards Lab: Led by SkIO Associate Professor Catherine Edwards\, the Edwards Lab specializes in physical oceanography. One area of focus is the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (underwater robots) to monitor hurricanes and the presence of Right Whales off the Georgia Coast.\nGreer Lab: Led by SkIO Assistant Professor Adam Greer\, the Greer Lab specializes in biological oceanography. One area of focus is understanding how the physical structure in the ocean environment influences the ecology of marine organisms and their interactions\, with particular emphasis on zooplankton and the early life stages of fishes. The lab uses a new generation of modular shadowgraph imaging devices to conduct its work. \nRivero-Calle Lab: Led by SkIO Assistant Professor Sara Rivero-Calle\, the Rivero-Calle Lab specializes in optical oceanography. The Rivero-Calle lab uses optics to develop satellite tools that can help us monitor ocean health and water quality\, such as harmful algal blooms\, marine debris\, suspended sediments\, and ocean productivity in general. The Rivero-Calle lab is currently working on the SeaHawk Ocean Color CubeSat satellite mission\, and they are using state-of-the-art optical instrumentation on the RV Savannah to understand water quality and productivity in coastal Georgia.\n\nThe event is free to attend.  \n\nLocation: SkIO Roebling Administrative Building\, 10 Ocean Science Circle\, Savannah\, GA 31411\nDate: April 22\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 p.m.\n\nQuestions?\nContact Jackson Schroeder\, PR & communications coordinator. \n\nEmail: Jackson.Schroeder@uga.edu\nPhone: (912) 598-2325
