The Laboratory for Computational Optics and Light in the Ocean Realm (aka COLOR Lab) is a part of the Hatter Department of Marine Technologies, Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences at the University of Haifa, and physically situated at the Interuniversity Institute of Marine Sciences in Eilat. Established in 2022 by principal investigator Dr. Derya Akkaynak, the COLOR Lab studies light and vision in the ocean, at the intersection of which lies color. Taking a multidisciplinary approach that bridges ocean optics, underwater computer vision, and visual ecology, the COLOR Lab investigates the structure, function, and mechanisms of color in the ocean.
