NOAA Environmental Cooperative Science Center

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC) is led by Florida A&M University in collaboration with Creighton University, Delaware State University, Jackson State University, Morgan State University, Texas A&M University- Corpus Christ, the University of Miami and the University of Nebraska- Lincoln.

The ECSC was established in 2001 as part of NOAA’s Education Partnership Program to address ecological and coastal management issues at specific National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. more about the ECSC

NOAA EPP Article Published in the Journal of Geoscience Education

The Director of the ECSC, Dr. Larry Robinson, collaborated with staff from NOAA's Educational Partnership Program to develop an article that discusses the framework of the EPP's partnership with Minority Serving Institutions. The article was published in the Journal of Geoscience Education's Special Edition: Broading Participation in the Earth Sciences.

ms student stephanie

 

DSU ECSC student Stephanie Stotts successfully defended her MS thesis on March 10. As a recent recipient of a graduate research fellowship for Delaware National Estuarine Research Reserve, Stephanie will be pursuing a PhD in climatology from the Department of Geography at the University of Delaware. In restoration, post-project long term monitoring is often minimal if it exists at all, so Stephanie will be working with Dr. Michael O’Neal fromthe Department of Geography and Dr. James Pizzuto from the Department of Geology at UDel to design and implement a field and remote sensing monitoring plan for use with riparian restoration methods in coastal areas. The title of her thesis is “St. JonesRiver, DE: An examination of community structure, flow, salinity, and sea level rise”.
