Hamgel field station for ecology and sustainable land-use
Hamgel Field Station for Ecology and Sustainable Land-Use is SII’s first field station, offering lodging, workspace, and logistical support for researchers conducting fieldwork in Trinidad. Our facility is designed to be customizable enough to support collaborative and varied research.
Our vision for Hamgel Field Station is to ensure that field testing and observation remain major contributors to modern science and scientific capacity. Our mission is to support integrative collaborations in field research that are necessary to update paradigms, attitudes, and behaviors to enable sustainable land and water use, improve resource management, bolster wildlife corridors, facilitate agroecology, and highlight the importance of Trinidad’s biodiversity.
Hamgel Field Station provides lodging, workspace, and logistical support for researchers. The facility has enabled collaborations across geophysics, social sciences, molecular sciences, natural history, education, and biology to improve the ways people communicate and think about social and scientific paradigms. We work with local and international universities, research institutions, conservation organizations, media organizations and government agencies.
Outputs from work at Hamgel include scientific publications across many categories, a small selection of which can be found on our Publications Supported by SII page.
