On the Ocean Sciences Centre (OSC) grounds outside the lab we have access to a cold room, wetlab, and to a wide variety of flow-through tanks for maintaining and rearing animals. Additionally, there is an array of aquaria, filters, sediments, and buckets, as well as an incubation chamber with light and temperature control systems. The OSC is also equiped with a Dedicated Image and Data Analysis Facility (IDAF) with high performance microscopy and computation.
