SUMMARY:Open Lab Night — August 5
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO) Open Lab Night on Tuesday\, August 5. Tour the R/V Savannah and explore four SkIO labs\, where you can view various lab instruments and speak directly with SkIO scientists and ask questions about their research and equipment.  \nRSVP Here \nTour the R/V Savannah:  \n\nParticipate in a guided tour of SkIO’s Research Vessel Savannah. The 104-ft ship is equipped with an 850-square-foot fantail work area\, two laboratories\, a full kitchen\, sleeping quarters for more than 20 people\, advanced oceanographic equipment\, and much more. \n\nParticipating Labs: \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.\n\nFoukal Lab: Led by SkIO’s newest faculty member\, Assistant Professor Dr. Nicholas Foukal\, the Foukal Lab studies where\, when and how the ocean stores and transports its heat. This has led Foukal to study the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC)\, the Gulf Stream\, the dynamics of the subpolar gyre\, how fresh water from Greenland and the Arctic impacts the North Atlantic circulation\, and more. \nFrischer Lab: Led by SkIO Professor Dr. Marc Frischer\, the Frischer Lab focuses on the role of microbial diversity in marine environments\, the development and application of the tools of molecular biology in plankton ecology\, and the discovery and ecology of parasites and pathogens in marine organisms. Dr. Frischer’s work has been key in understanding Black Gill disease in shrimp\, including those along the Georgia coast. \nRivero-Calle Lab: Led by SkIO Assistant Professor Dr. 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: August 5\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 p.m.\n\nQuestions?\nContact Jackson Schroeder\, PR & communications coordinator. \n\nEmail: Jackson.Schroeder@uga.edu\nPhone: (912) 598-2325
