USF Water Institute

The USF Water Institute brings together faculty, students and stakeholders to conduct transdisciplinary research, provide innovative educational experiences, and facilitate public outreach efforts that promote science-based solutions to local and global water challenges.The Plant Atlas (plantatlas.org) is an evolving partnership of herbaria, universities, conservation organizations, government agencies and information technology professionals. Project partners are united by a common need to manage and disseminate vascular and non‐vascular plant information with colleagues and the public. The online Plant Atlas application, originally developed by the University of South Florida, is the tool that these partners have chosen to meet their needs. Project partners share the development and maintenance costs and benefit from the ongoing improvements to the system. The Plant Atlas is developed and maintained by the USF Water Institute.
