Donovan Lab

Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology

The Donovan Lab incorporates quantitative spatial ecology, resilience theory, field ecology, data synthesis, and statistical modeling to generate insights into the function and resilience of social-ecological systems. We collect and analyze data from remote sensing, ecological monitoring, and social and economic surveys. Our work is in close collaboration with conservation practitioners around the world working to conserve coral reefs.

We are part of the Hawai‘i Institute of Marine Biology at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa. We are located in Kāneʻohe, HI with current research projects in Hawaiʻi, French Polynesia, the Caribbean, and globally.

The Donovan Lab also hosts the Hawai‘i Monitoring and Reporting Collaborative (HIMARC)
