Ecological Resilience in Hawaiian Ecosystems: Impacts of Climate Change and Invasive Species

Explore the evolutionary biogeography of Hawaiian focal species amidst invasive species, human activity, and climate change. The EPSCoR project aims to enhance sustainability through research, education, and workforce development, with a focus on the genetic and metabolic responses to environmental change. Collaborations with federal and state agencies will drive cyberinfrastructure development and training to improve science opportunities in Hawaii. Research themes include climate change, invasive species, and anthropogenic influences on unique Hawaiian resources. Study marine and terrestrial ecosystem responses, natural controls, and biogeochemical evolution, emphasizing the interconnectivity of land and sea environments. Investigate water characteristics, groundwater flow paths, and ecological responses in coastal environments to understand the complex dynamics of Hawaiian ecosystems.
