Aloha!
Aloha!
The home of the Moran Lab is the School of Life Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. Research in the Moran Lab is broadly centered on the ecology, evolution, and physiology of marine invertebrates, with particular focus on life history biology, larval ecology, and ecophysiological responses of larvae and adults to climate change factors. We combine field and laboratory approaches to address these questions in environments from the tropics to the poles, and using a wide variety of organisms and life stages. Members of the Moran lab are also very active in marine education and science outreach.
