An Adaptation
Research Laboratory
The Kwajalein Atoll Sustainability Laboratory (KASL) is a Marshallese non-governmental organization established as an adaptation science-based field experimentation site in the Pacific.
Its research arm is supported by the US Office of Naval Research (ONR) to explore ideas that help island communities absorb environmental change.



Testing venues
KASL is designed to provide environmental adaptation testing in almost any tropical environment:
-
Calm lagoon
-
Austere and remote landforms
-
Safe and protected airspace
-
Dense and low-resource urban environments
-
Open ocean
-
Deep seabed
-
Spectrum availability, and more...
​
Including educational and cultural opportunities that are rarely available.
Credible testing sites
KASL has been designed for evaluating research ideas that might help the most vulnerable populations in the Pacific.
If your idea works here, it will probably work anywhere.
