University of South Florida College of Marine Science
We're often asked, where in the world are USF marine scientists? We'd argue the question should be, where aren't they?
Many of you may be familiar with our beautiful waterfront campus in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. While our buildings may be confined to one location, our science certainly is not. Scientists from the USF College of Marine Science are collecting data everywhere from Tampa Bay to the Totten Glacier. Our science spans local, regional, and global scales, all with the goal of improving our community and planet.
This map is not an exhaustive list of all the research that goes on at the college (we wouldn't have enough map for that!). It simply serves to highlight examples of the amazing work we are doing.
