The Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS ) is a college and research institute for the study of oceanography and the atmospheric sciences within the University of Miami (UM). It is located on a 16 acre (65,000 m²) campus on Virginia Key in Miami, Florida, USA. It is the only subtropical applied and basic marine and atmospheric research institute in the continental United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Reference Desk )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Marine Science Today )〕 Up until 2008, RSMAS was solely a graduate school within the University of Miami, while it jointly administrated an undergraduate program with UM's College of Arts and Sciences. In 2008, the Rosenstiel School has taken over administrative responsibilities for the undergraduate program, granting Bachelor of Science in Marine and Atmospheric Science (BSMAS) and Bachelor of Arts in Marine Affairs (BAMA) baccalaureate degree. Master's, including a Master of Professional Science degree, and doctorates are also awarded to RSMAS students by the UM Graduate School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Master of Professional Science - Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science - University of Miami )〕 The Rosenstiel School's research includes the study of marine life, particularly ''Aplysia'' and coral; climate change; air-sea interactions; coastal ecology; and admiralty law. The school operates a marine research laboratory ship, and has a research site at an inland sinkhole. Research also includes the use of data from weather satellites and the school operates its own satellite downlink facility. ==History== In 1940, University of Miami President Bowman Ashe recruited F.G. Walton Smith, a young British marine biologist who was working in the Bahamas. Smith joined the Department of Zoology, and began organizing the development of a marine laboratory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science )〕 In 1943, the Board of Trustees of the University of Miami established the Marine Laboratory for the University.〔 They invited researchers and oceanographers to associate themselves with this laboratory. Its three original objectives were teaching, basic research, and applied marine research. The laboratory focused on subjects specific to the tropical environment. Initially, the Marine Lab was located in a private boathouse on an estate on Belle Isle in Miami Beach, Florida. In 1945, when the boathouse became structurally unsafe, the lab moved to a converted apartment building in Coral Gables, Florida near the main campus. In 1947, a delegation from Dade County prompted the Florida State Legislature to support the development of a state Marine Laboratory in conjunction with the UM lab. It reported to the State Board of Conservation, which had no marine research facility and little budget of its own at the time. The relationship lasted for 12 years until the state of Florida built the board a lab in St. Petersburg. In 1953, the School's classrooms and laboratories were built at the current Virginia Key location. It was renamed the Institute of Marine Science in 1961,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www6.miami.edu/umbulletin/und/marine/index.htm )〕 it became part of the University of Miami's School of Environmental and Planetary Sciences. In 1969, the institution was made into an independent school and named to honor Lewis and Dorothy Rosenstiel after a major contribution from the Rosenstiel's foundation to support progress in atmospheric and marine sciences. In 1977, the school began a joint undergraduate program with Miami's College of Arts & Sciences.〔 The school bought Research vessels and built more facilities to further research projects. From 2003 to 2008, the school operated the Pew Institute for Ocean Science as a joint venture with the The Pew Charitable Trusts, and in 2008, the program relocated to SUNY at Stony Brook.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conquest of the Ocean )〕 In 2008, RSMAS took over administrative functions of the University of Miami's undergraduate Marine Science, Marine Affairs, and Meteorology programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dorothy H. and Lewis Rosentiel School Of Marine And Atmospheric Science - Graduate )〕 Also in 2008, RSMAS's library merged with the central University of Miami Library. Recently, RSMAS started unique a one-year Master of Professional Science degree program aimed at students planning non-research careers in business, government, or non-profit organizations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Program )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
