The Center for Science and Policy Applications for Coastal Environment (C-SPACE) was created in 2005 with funding from the National Center for Environmental Research of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Dr. Chris D'Elia and Dr. Jim Gore served as co-directors of the center until 2009.
The current director of the center is Dr. Melanie Riedinger-Whitmore.
C-SPACE provides a framework for
collaboration between USF St. Petersburg researchers and colleagues at the USF
College of Marine Science, the Center for Coastal & Watershed Studies of the
U.S. Geological Survey, the Southeast Fisheries Science Center of the National
Marine Fisheries Service/NOAA, and the State’s Florida Wildlife Research
Institute, all of which are also located on USF St. Petersburg.
The primary aim of this Center is to
undertake research on problems affecting coastal areas, with an initial focus on
Florida’s Gulf Coast.
C-SPACE conducts interdisciplinary research within the following general areas:
- the use, supply, and quality of freshwater;
- the fate, effects, assessment and remediation of water-borne pollutants;
- water quality and quantity driven changes in inland and coastal ecosystems; and
- management and policy of coastal freshwater and marine ecosystems.
