Department Description: The Department of Biology at the University of Miami is an integrative biology department that cultivates interactions that traverse traditional interdisciplinary boundaries. The Coastal Ecology Laboratory examines complex interactions between the land and sea interface as ecological processes are altered with changing hydrological and biogeochemical cycles. Dr. Sullivan Sealey has a laboratory within the Department of Biology.

Within the Department, there are partnerships with two important centers: The Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Ecology and the Abess Center for Ecosystem Science and Policy. The Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Ecology (ITME) represents the combined efforts of a group of faculty from two schools: the College of Arts and Sciences (Departments of Mathematics, Biology, and Computer Science) and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences. Ecology is one of a number of areas of scientific inquiry that are being profoundly influenced by advances in quantitative knowledge, both analytic and computational.
