We promote interdisciplinary collaboration within FIU and beyond to address local and regional issues of environmental contamination. Over the course of this project, we will provide various tools to aid both internal and external partners in this collaborative work.

This page is a portal to our products and outcomes, including information from our original proposal, presentation slides about the Center and its projects, publications, application information for interested students, funding forms for current participants, citation information and project databases.

Conference & Meeting Presentations

Facilities & Equipment

We provide computer stations, labs and workspaces on both the Modesto Maidique and Biscayne Bay Campuses at FIU, which are available to all affiliated students, postdocs, faculty and staff.

We also operate the CAChE Nutrient Analysis Lab, which represents three distinct services; first, it serves as a NELAC-accredited nutrient analysis laboratory to directly support research; second, it contains a dedicated student area for education and training related to traditional water quality analyses; and finally, it provides a space where students and faculty can work to improve or innovate technologies, and develop alternative or novel techniques.
