Why Environmental Science at Florida Tech?
At Florida Tech, the environmental sciences program is solidly based on course work in chemistry, biology, mathematics, meteorology and physics, combined with many specialized environmental science and related elective courses. Two undergraduate options-environmental science and meteorology-and two graduate options-environmental science and environmental resource management-are available. Graduate course work in environmental science is normally developed around the specialized areas of remote sensing, environmental biology, environmental chemistry, environmental systems and environmental restoration. Research in environmental science has been largely water oriented, with major research funding primarily occurring in the areas of hydrology, limnology, environmental modeling, remote sensing, environmental chemistry and contaminant transport. Most of this research has been Florida based, because of the state’s strong dependence on water and the increasing environmental problems caused by
