LABORATORY: Dr. Lisa Chambers is the PI of the Aquatic Biogeochemistry Lab (ABL), an 820 ft2 state-of-the art laboratory located in the Biological Sciences Building on UCF’s main campus. Dr. Chambers is also the PI on record for the Soil and Sediment Laboratory (SASL), a core laboratory for the Biology Department (a 760 ft2 wet lab, also located in the Biological Sciences Building). Together, the ABL and SASL labs are fully equipped to analyze a suite of chemical, physical, and biological soil and water parameters. The infrastructure of the labs includes: 3 fume hoods, 5 sinks, an in-line DI water system, a back-up power generator, seven desktop computers and one laptop computer for running major instrumentation and analyzing data, as well as two network printers.
OFFICE: Dr. Lisa Chambers has a ~100 ft2 faculty office with a Dell desktop computer and network printer. Graduate students will have their own desk space and computer outside the laboratory, while the lab manager has a desk and computer inside the ABL
OTHER RESOURCES: Dr. Lisa Chambers has access to the Biology Field Research Building Center (BFRC) which includes 1000 ft2 of modular research space, five 450 ft2 storage bays, parking for field vehicles, and three greenhouses (2 X1000 ft2, 350 ft2). The Genomics Core Lab includes instrumentation for DNA quantification and amplification.
