Who We Are
The success of the Wrigley Institute is made possible by the individual and cooperative work of our affiliated faculty, our staff, and our advisory board. Like many of the environmental systems we study, our team here is dynamic and interconnected.
We Are the Wrigley Institute
Affiliated Faculty
The work of our affiliated faculty underpins our research activities and many of our educational opportunities. Whether on the reef, in the lab, or just down the hall, they help us and our students to find the climate solutions of tomorrow.
Our team also includes the core faculty of the USC Dornsife Environmental Studies Program, who are dedicated to training undergraduate students to become environmental and sustainability leaders. You can meet them on the Environmental Studies website.

Staff
From housekeepers, scientists, and marketers to boat crew, lab techs, project managers, and more, our staff advance the Wrigley Institute mission every day.
