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

Announcements

The ECSC will be partnering with the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserce to host the Mission-Aransas NERR Hyperspectral Imaging Project during the week of July 14th. Several students, faculty and staff from the ECSC partner institutions will be participating in the project.

For additional information visit the MANERR webiste or contact Dr. John Schalles.

Mark your calendars! The NOAA Educational Partnership Program's Fifth Education and Science Forum wil be held in Washington, DC November 13 - 15, 2008. The forum will be hosted by the NOAA Center for Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS).

We are offering a FREE Geospatial Training Course. Sudhir Shrestha, the former ECSC Geospatial Analyst, developed the course.

The main objective of this course is to provide the basic knowledge in GIS and Remote Sensing theory and application using the teaching tools developed by Environmental Cooperative Science Center (ECSC) at Florida A&M University. These training course modules are specifically developed to provide step by step hands on experience with GIS and Remote Sensing tools like ArcGIS 9.2 and ENVI so that students can use this technology in their current and future research projects.

To enroll in the course please contact Michelle S. Williams.
