South Florida Ecosystem History Project

FeaturesThe USGS South Florida Ecosystem History Online Database contains data regarding site locations, field information, water chemistry and salinity, vegetation information, and biotic occurrence tables for foraminifers, molluscs, ostracodes, pollen, dinoflagellates, and diatoms. USGS Open File Reports are publications which document the progress of current ongoing studies and include interpretation of the data that has been compiled. Open File Reports for all of the South Florida Ecosystem History Projects are available online as PDFs. You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view these files. Salinity Maps compare abundances of benthic foraminifers in modern sediment samples to modern salinity conditions in Florida Bay and Biscayne Bay.
Our new ONLINE POSTERS section gives you access to the posters that were presented at recent scientific meetings. Most of the posters are presented exactly as they were at the original meeting using PDF files, which allows you to zoom in on text and even closely examine the figures, graphs, and photos. (You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view the PDF files.) Collaborators and PartnersThe USGS South Florida Ecosystem History Project is part of the USGS South Florida Ecosystem Program which works in part with a number of partners and collaborators who provide services, information, access to land, and grant support.
