ʻAʻohe pau ka ʻike i ka hālau hoʻokahi │ One learns from many sources │ A web publication from the Office of the Chancellor, University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo
Special guests at the Chamber’s “Business After Hours” event were two conservation researchers and the dean of the College of Natural and Health Sciences.
With a $5K grant from the Office of the Chancellor, computer scientist Travis Mandel is rebranding and upgrading the current Data Science Lab to its new identity: Scientist-Centered Artificial Intelligence Laboratory or SCAIL.
The new workboat significantly expands place-based marine science training and research, allowing offshore and nearshore fieldwork for both students and researchers.
Chad Callan’s research has resulted in successful culturing of high-demand reef species in the aquarium trade. The result is reduced strain on wild-caught fish populations and coral reefs.
Many of the research projects at the ʻElala Biodiversity Lab revolve around conservation, looking at native and invasive species and how they interact with the ecosystems around them.
At the field lab, each student works on their own individual plot in an area located behind the College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Natural Resource Management.
The lab class worked with community stewards of the fishpond to not only collect water samples for DNA testing but also to help with preservation efforts.
The lab, founded in 2004, specializes in geochemical analysis of stone artifacts and volcanic rock from the Pacific.
With an infusion of funds, UH Hilo’s data science lab is transforming into a scientist-centered AI lab
