Underwater science | |

For a land-locked Midwestern state, Indiana has a high profile in underwater science, thanks to academic programs and research emanating from HPER. The school established the first underwater resource management certificate program in the nation in 2001, and recent outreach work includes exploration of California’s Emerald Bay on Lake Tahoe for century-old fishing vessels; a project in the Florida Keys to create the world’s largest artificial reef; and another project in the Dominican Republic to establish the world’s first underwater shipwreck museum. Such undertakings often facilitate partnerships with other university entities, such as the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, the Office of International Programs and the Mathers Museum of World Cultures. http://www.indiana.edu/~scuba/academic/current-projects.html | |
