The Charismatic Megafauna and Oceanography Laboratory uses marine organisms, from microscopic phytoplankton to great whales, to monitor the chemical and physical changes happening in the marine environment around the world. We are a group of undergraduate and graduate students brought together by a passion for research and the marine world. 

​

But the lab is more than a place of study, it's a family. We are there for each other personally just as quickly as we are professionally or academically. The CMOL 'Ohana never leaves each other hanging, looking out for each other and supporting everyone in their highs and lows. We all have our own specific passions, but we come together to cheer each other on every step of the way.
