Dr. Michael Andreu, Assistant Professor, School of Forest Resources and Conservation, works on forest systems ecology. Conducting research on best management practices for fuel reduction and prescribed burning in ponderosa pine forests, biodiversity enhancement in Douglas-fir and loblolly pine plantations, and bio-energy resources in the Apalachicola National Forest. Teaches several courses in the Natural Resource onservation major at the Plant City campus, including dendrology, restoration ecology, and natural resources sampling. Also developing an extension program for forest landowners on the urban-wildland interface. |

Decision-making under environmental law and the intersection of science and law. Thomas T. Ankersen is an attorney and Assistant in Law at the Center for Governmental Responsibility in the University of Florida College of Law where he teaches and conducts research on a wide variety of domestic and international environmental law and policy issues. He directs the Center's Mesoamerican Environmental Law Program, a program of applied research, policy development and training that lends supports to governmental and non-governmental organizations in Central America and Mexico. He recently launched the Center's Conservation Law Initiative, a pilot effort supported by the John D. and Katherine T. MacArthur Foundation, and designed to focus on the development of innovative legal and policy instruments and institutions to promote conservation in the United States and abroad. In Florida, Ankersen has focused his efforts in the area of coastal law and policy, water law, and legal issues associated with protection of biological diversity. He also serves as a faculty advisor to the College of Law's annual Public Interest Environmental Conference. He is an affiliate faculty member at the University of Florida's Center for Latin American Studies. |

Dr. Archer was appointed Professor and Chair, Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, on January 3, 1994. The Department has over thirty faculty and has program foci in nutritional sciences, food science, and dietetics. He served as Chair until January 1, 2001 at which time he returned to the faculty to teach and conduct research. |

Patrick Baker studies the biology and ecology of marine and freshwater invertebrates, concentrating on bivalve mollusks. In the past, he has conducted research on oyster larval and juvenile biology in Chesapeake Bay, including behavioral studies on larvae settling from the plankton to the benthos. In addition, he has studied the ecology of endangered native freshwater mussels in Minnesota.
In Florida, Dr. Baker is interested in the ecology of Gulf and Atlantic coast oyster reefs, and the biology and ecology of ark shells. In addition Dr. Baker is currently conducting research on a small oyster native to the Pacific coast, where recent geological changes and human impacts have resulted in a complex pattern of population invasion and extinction in the past few thousand years. With Dr. Bowen, also in this department, Dr. Baker is conducting molecular genetic research to try to trace the origin and patterns of these oyster populations. |

"The major thrust of my research is to understand how the physiology of plants changes in response to dynamic environmental forces. As a woody plant horticulturist, this comprises not only micro-environment forces, but also artificial forces of pruning, fertilization, high intensity production and transplanting into landscapes. Once a concept is grasped, this knowledge is used to tinker with the "process" to improve growth, efficiency or success of the system. Most of the research focuses on water and a plants’ requirements and responses to sub-optimum levels. This ranges from evaluation of irrigation systems to modeling plant water requirements based on micro-climate and size." |
