Chuck Birkeland's
Lab
is part of the Hawai'i Cooperative Fishery Research Unit
located in the Zoology Department at the
University of Hawai'i at Manoa in
Honolulu. Chuck and
his students study
coral reef ecology in Hawai'i and American
Samoa.
We focus on the effects of global warming,
introduced species, and land management on corals and coral reefs, and we are
especially interested in management approaches to reduce the impacts of these
problems. Much of our work is on reef-building corals, so the identification of these remarkably diverse species
is fundamental to our efforts.
