Lab6

University staff, postgraduate students, and visitors have access to a small field laboratory located in Knysna, which is in the middle of the Garden Route. This location is ideal for the study of the South Africa’s premier estuary, its catchment, rocky shores, coastal forest and other biomes.

The laboratory is equipped with some basic equipment including microscopes with digital image capture and analysis, glassware, a submersible fluorometer, Seabird CTD, YSI oxygen probe, drying oven and spectrophotometer (top of the range). There is also a boat that is suitable for work on the Knysna estuary.

The lab is managed by Emeritus Professor Brian Allanson
