Research

The Cyberinfrastructure team (CYBER) works in parallel with the ENDER and ECOGEM research teams to support the integration of in--‐situ sensors, geospatially referenced data collection and management, visualization, predictive modeling, and High performance computing.

IMUA III is designed and executed by two teams: the Environmental Dynamics and Ecosystem Responses group (ENDER) and the Ecological Genomics and Metabolomics group (ECOGEM). ENDER and ECOGEM work in a coordinated and complementary fashion to execute their research and test their hypotheses.

Diversity, Education, and Workforce Development (DEW) issues are inextricably linked and are addressed in a unified effort in IMUA III. As an ecosystem, Hawai‘I possesses an extraordinary diversity of natural resources and attributes (geological, marine, terrestrial, atmospheric, and biological). An explicit goal of Hawai‘I EPSCoR is to enhance the relationships of Hawai‘i's people with their environment and economy. For the DEW initiative, these relationships are centrally about workforce development, which is preparing Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, Filipino, and Other underrepresented students for careers as STEM technicians and as future STEM researchers and professors in a diversifying, knowledge--‐intensive state, national, and global economy.
