Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science

The Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science is the University of Miami's academic and research institution for the study of oceanography, atmospheric, and earth sciences. The Rosenstiel School is located east from the University of Miami's main Coral Gables campus on Virginia Key in Miami, Florida, United States.

Founded in 1943, the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School is the only subtropical applied and basic marine, atmospheric, and earth research institute in the continental United States. The school is also home to SUSTAIN, the world's largest hurricane simulation tank.

Up until 2008, Rosenstiel School was solely a graduate school within the University of Miami, though it jointly administrated an undergraduate program with the University of Miami's College of Arts and Sciences. In 2008, Rosenstiel School launched an undergraduate program, granting both Bachelor of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science (BSMAS) and Bachelor of Arts in Marine Affairs (BAMA) undergraduate degrees and Master's degrees. Doctorate degrees are awarded to Rosenstiel School students by the University of Miami's Graduate School.

The Rosenstiel School's research includes the study of marine life, including aplysia and coral, climate change, tropical cyclones, air-sea interactions, coastal ecology, and oceanography law. The school operates a marine research vessel and has a research site at an inland sinkhole. Provided by Wikipedia
