techniques of modern cell and molecular biology, for which the Laboratory is
particularly well equipped and recognized.
Research at Whitney Laboratory attracts graduate students and scientists from all
over the United States and abroad. Students enroll in the graduate programs of
academic units on campus and complete their course work before moving to the
Whitney Laboratory, where they conduct their dissertation research under the
supervision of resident faculty. An NSF undergraduate research training program at
the Whitney Laboratory is also available for 10-week periods.
The Laboratory is situated on a narrow barrier island with both the Atlantic Ocean
and the Intracoastal Waterway within a few hundred feet of the facility. It is located
in Marineland, about 18 miles south of St. Augustine and 80 miles from Gainesville.

The UF Marine Laboratory at Seahorse Key is a field station providing (a) support
for research by students, faculty, and visiting scientists; (b) an outstanding teaching
program in marine related subjects; and (c) support from public education related to
marine, estuarine, and coastal resources of Florida. Seahorse Key is 57 miles west of
Gainesville on the Gulf Coast, 3 miles offshore and opposite Cedar Key. Facilities
include a research vessel, several smaller outboard-powered boats for shallow water
and inshore work, a 20 x 40 foot research and teaching building, and a 10-room
residence, with 2 kitchens, a dining lounge, and dormitory accommodations for 24
persons.
Chemical Physics
The Center for Chemical Physics, with participating faculty from the Departments of
Chemistry, Physics, and Chemical Engineering, is concerned with graduate education
and research in the theoretical, experimental, and computational aspects of problems
in the borderline between chemistry and physics. Graduate students join one of the
above academic units and follow a special curriculum. The student receives a Ph.D.
degree and a Certificate in Chemical Physics. For information, contact the Director,
Dr. Valeria Kleiman, 311A Chemistry Laboratory Building, P.O. Box 117200,
Gainesville FL 32611, E-mail kleiman@chem.ufl.edu.
Ecological Engineering
The Graduate Certificate in Ecological Engineering is for graduate engineering
students wishing to develop expertise in ecological solutions to engineering problems.
Students interested in the certificate must apply for admission through the
Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences. The certificate program is open
to individuals in any graduate program who hold an undergraduate engineering
degree, or who complete the additional undergraduate engineering articulation
courses needed to bring the student's background to the minimum level required for
engineers by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The certificate program consists of 15 course credits, and a research project with
content materially related to some aspect of ecological engineering. If appropriate,
