About the Lab

The Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab has been at the forefront of marine spatial planning for the past two decades, studying marine ecology, resource management, and ocean conservation. We take marine analysis from data to decisions.

Our focus is on data analysis, and modeling linking biological, satellite, and ocean observing data to develop innovative analysis and visualization tools to inform management and ocean governance.

With locations at both the main Durham campus of Duke and at the Duke Marine Lab on Pivers Island in Beaufort, North Carolina, the lab works with students and faculty across disciplines.
