  • USF Board of Trustees ( March 7, 2013)
    Agenda item: (to be completed by Board staff) USF Board of Trustees ( March 7, 2013) Issue: Proposed Ph.D. in Integrative Biology ________________________________________________________________ Proposed action: New Degree Program Approval ________________________________________________________________ Background information: This application for a new Ph.D is driven by a recent reorganization of the Department of Biology. The reorganization began in 2006 and was completed in 2009. The reorganization of the Department of Biology, in part, reflected the enormity of the biological sciences, and in part, different research perspectives and directions taken by the faculty in each of the respective areas of biology. Part of the reorganization was to replace the original Ph.D. in Biology with two new doctoral degrees that better serve the needs of the State and our current graduate students by enabling greater focus of the research performed to earn the Ph.D. The well-established and highly productive faculty attracts students to the Tampa Campus from all over the United States as well as from foreign countries. The resources to support the two Ph.D. programs have already been established in the Department of Biology and are sufficient to support the two new degree programs. The reorganization created two new departments; the Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology, and Molecular Biology (CMMB) and the Department of Integrative Biology (IB). This proposal addresses the creation of a new Ph.D., in Integrative Biology offered by the Department of Integrative Biology (CIP Code 26.1399). The name of the Department, Integrative Biology, reflects the belief that the study of biological processes and systems can best be accomplished by the incorporation of numerous integrated approaches Strategic Goal(s) Item Supports: The proposed program directly supports the following: Goal 1 and Goal 2 Workgroup Review: ACE March 7, 2013 Supporting Documentation: See Complete Proposal below Prepared by: Dr.

  • SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study
    Special Publication SJ94-SP1 SEBASTIAN RIVER SALINITY REGIME Report of a Study Part I. Review of Goals, Policies, and Objectives Part II: Segmentation Parts III and IV: Recommended Targets (Contract 92W-177) Submitted to the: St. Johns River Water Management District by the: Mote Marine Laboratory 1600 Thompson Parkway Sarasota, Florida 34236 Ernest D. Estevez, Ph.D. and Michael J. Marshall, Ph.D. Principal Investigators EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third and final report of a project concerning desirable salinity conditions in the Sebastian River and adjacent Indian River Lagoon. A perception exists among resource managers that the present salinity regime of the Sebastian River system is undesirable. The St. Johns River Water Management District desires to learn the nature of an "environmentally desirable and acceptable salinity regime" for the Sebastian River and adjacent waters of the Indian River Lagoon. The District can then calculate discharges needed to produce the desired salinity regime, or conclude that optimal discharges are beyond its control. The values of studying salinity and making it a management priority in estuaries are four-fold. First, salinity has intrinsic significance as an important regulatory factor. Second, changes in the salinity regime of an estuary tend to be relatively easy to handle from a computational and practical point of view. Third, eliminating salinity as a problem clears the way for studies of, and corrective actions for, more insidious factors. Fourth, the strong covariance of salinity and other factors that tend to be management problems in estuaries makes salinity a useful tool in their analysis. Freshwater inflow and salinity are integral aspects of estuaries.
