Labs

The Cook Lab

Through our research, we are on a quest to uncover how organisms collect information about their world, how they share that information with others, and ultimately how they prioritize information and organize as a group to affect change in their environment.

The Lemoine Lab

Environmental changes such as drought and climate warming affect the relationships between plants, herbivores, and ecosystems. By link physiology, species interactions, and ecosystem processes, the research reveals how global change shapes the natural world. 

Water Quality Center

This center brings together researchers, industries, government agencies, private foundations and others to solve problems related to lake, river and groundwater quality. We work in the areas of environmental engineering and water resources engineering.

Engineering Hall Labs

Sustainability Lab - College of Business

The Marquette University S-Lab is a cross-disciplinary project that aims to research and disseminate knowledge, foster and develop managers around effective sustainability and stewardship practices increasingly demanded across industries globally. Through instructional opportunities that span business, the STEM fields, the humanities and more, the Sustainability Lab provides students with the knowledge they need to Be the Difference.
