RESEARCH AT THE COLLEGE OF MARINE SCIENCE

ResearchThe primary mission of the College of Marine Science is to conduct basic and applied research in ocean science. We not only engage the traditional fields of biology, chemistry, geology, and physics to study the marine realm, but view interactions with the adjoining land mass and the overlying atmosphere as critical components in modern and past oceans. Finally, our faculty, research staff, and graduate students are fully committed to interdisciplinary science and are striving to define new collaborative intellectual relationships that lead to new discoveries.

Research at the College of Marine Science is divided into 4 broad disciplines. Each discipline maintains its own pages with more specific information about its faculty, students and staff. More information on these research areas can be found by clicking on the following links.

Current Research
To learn about recent research at the College of Marine Science, you can access a list of CMS publications issued in the past 18 months. Some of the publications are available for download. Visitors can also view research presented at national meetings and conferences. Finally, a complete list of all research centers and laboratories with websites is available. Please visit:

Centers & Partners
In addition to academic research pursuits, the College of Marine Science works in conjunction with the Center for Ocean Technology (COT) to develop new sensors and technology. A leader in microtechnology research, COT provides our faculty and students the opportunity to mix pure science with applied science. The College of Marine Science also maintains strong partnerships with federal and state agencies. The United States Geological Survey Center for Coastal & Watershed Studies is located less than a mile from our campus. On the state level, we share land and facilities with the Florida Marine Research Institute. To see a complete listing of The College of Marine Science's Partners and Centers, click the links below.
