Wetland sciences research has proliferated over the past two decades. Many academic institutions now include wetland studies in their curriculums. The University of Florida is a globally recognized leader in studies of wetland mitigation, wetland nutrient cycling, biogeochemical indicators and treatment wetlands for wastewater and stormwater runoff.
Links to wetlands research activities, including programs on the University
of Florida campus and around the state can be found below. Several prominent
wetlands programs at the University of Florida and throughout the nation
are also provided. To include another program on this list, please contact
