Keck Environmental Field Laboratory
Located on the shore of Lake Matoaka on the William & 玛丽 campus in Williamsburg, Virginia, the Keck Lab provides instructional and research support for environmental programs at William & 玛丽 and at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.
Seminar, lecture, and laboratory courses are taught at the lab during the academic year. Funding organizations including the National Science Foundation, Virginia Environmental Endowment and the Charles Center sponsor directed student research. The lab maintains ongoing monitoring of water quality in the College Creek watershed as a part of the College Creek Alliance.
With direct access to Lake Matoaka and the surrounding College Woods, the 5,500 square-foot facility is an academic venue for hands-on investigation of issues within the increasingly complex and interdisciplinary world of environmental studies.
