Students will be sharing dormitory rooms on the University of Hawaii campus. These rooms are not air conditioned and can be warm in the evening. Linens will be provided by the campus housing; however students will need to bring a towel. A map of the University of Hawaii campus is provided so that students can become familiar with the layout of the campus. Students will be housed onthe East-West Center cottages and lectures and laboratories will occur in the Marine Science Building and the Pacific Ocean Science and Technology Building.

While at sea, students will share cabins. All linen will be provided on the research vessel. In addition, three meals are served at sea. Although the R/V Kilo Moana is renowned for its stability at sea, students prone to seasickness or those unsure if they get seasick should bring appropriate medication.

Hawaii Climate
In July, daytime temperatures in Hawaii can be hot (average temperature in July 29.4oC), but most building are air conditioned. Students should bring clothing that suits the climate; shorts can be worn during lectures and laboratories. We suggest bringing a long sleeved sweatshirt to be worn in the air conditioned classrooms. Closed-toed shoes are required during laboratory research. In addition, while at sea, students should bring closed toed shoes that can get wet.
