Welcome to the
Hart Lab

The Big Island of Hawaii is internationally recognized as an excellent natural biological lab, making UH Hilo wonderfully situated for graduate students interested in conducting ecological research. Please visit the Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Sciences (TCBES) graduate program at UH Hilo website. Most years I am a primary advisor for seven to nine graduate students, many focusing on the use of bioacoustics as a tool to address a variety of ecological questions. I am not currently looking for new graduate students but am always willing to creatively discuss future possibilities!

We strive to create a good environment for undergraduates to get research experience. The type of research conducted in the lab is well-suited for undergraduate internships and Directed Studies projects. There are also various opportunities at UH Hilo for undergraduate research experiences, such as through the Pacific Internship Programs for Exploring Science (PIPES) program.
