The Ouellette Laboratory

Welcome to the Lab!
Directed by Dr. Gilman “Gil” Ouellette Jr., the lab’s mission is to deepen scientific understanding of Earth’s oceans;
past, present, and future.

The lab also strives to share the incredible science that already exists explaining the mysteries and wonder of the ocean, the challenges that face our mostly blue world today, and what we can learn from the conditions Earth’s oceans responded to in the past.
