jjExperimental Environmental Optics Group

Fieldwork

Everyone in the Experimental Environmental Optics Group conducts their research outside of the lab. The nature of our work requires us to travel, often to remote locations, in order to obtain the data that is needed. While some measurements are made here in Miami, most of our trips involve shipboard cruises or travel to remote islands. The list below contains some of our fieldwork. A few trips where someone remembered to snap a photo or two have their own page ..... Enjoy! (Hopefully we did).
