Research Activities

Three main areas of LTEC are dedicated to research: the Natural Sciences Collections Building, the Mesocosm Facility, and the Longleaf Preserve. It is the center of operations for ecological research conducted at Â鶹´«Ã½. Â鶹´«Ã½ faculty have a strong history of ecological research along the Gulf Coast and current studies span almost all habitats in this ecoregion. LTEC is unique in that it encompasses headwater streams within the Pascagoula basin and also contains 160 acres of 100+-year-old longleaf pine forests. LTEC is also utilized as an instructional resource for 26 Â鶹´«Ã½ courses, a training facility for state and federal agencies, and a platform for ecological STEM outreach.
