(23.2) 69.0 8.4 Parks The geology of South Florida together with a warm wet subtropical climate provides conditions well-suited for a large marshland ecosystem Layers of porous and permeable limestone create water-bearing rock and soil that affect the climate weather and hydrology of South Florida the properties of the rock underneath the Everglades can be explained by the geologic history of the state the crust underneath Florida was at one point part of the African region of the supercontinent Gondwana About 300 million years ago North America merged with Africa connecting Florida with North America Volcanic activity centered on the eastern side of Florida covered the prevalent sedimentary rock with igneous rock Continental rifting began to separate North America from Gondwana about 180 million years ago When Florida was part of Africa it was initially above water but during the cooler Jurassic Period the Florida Platform became a shallow marine environment in which sedimentary rocks were deposited Through the Cretaceous Period most of Florida remained a tropical sea floor of varying depths the peninsula has been covered by seawater at least seven times since the bedrock formed. Another major development for the PortMiami is the PortMiami Deep Dredge project that will allow Super Post Panamax Megaships to enter the United States after the completion of the Panama Canal expansion in 2014 the ports of Norfolk New York and Baltimore have deepened their ports to the required 50 feet With the correct funding the PortMiami estimates that it is capable of completing such a project by 2014 It is also estimated that this project could double Miami's cargo business in the next 10 years as well as creating over 30,000 permanent jobs for Miami which currently has a very high unemployment rate. In 2008 7% of FIU students were international students Of those the most popular countries of origin were: China (20%) India (13%) Jamaica (10%) Venezuela (6%) Colombia (5%) and Trinidad and Tobago (4%). .

The underlying bedrock or limestone of the Everglades basin affects the hydroperiod or how long an area within the region stays flooded throughout the year Longer hydroperiods are possible in areas that were submerged beneath seawater for longer periods of time while the geology of Florida was forming More water is held within the porous ooids and limestone than older types of rock that spent more time above sea level a hydroperiod of ten months or more fosters growth of sawgrass whereas a shorter hydroperiod of six months or less promotes beds of periphyton a growth of algae and other microscopic organisms There are only two types of soil in the Everglades peat and marl Where there are longer hydroperiods peat builds up over hundreds or thousands of years due to many generations of decaying plant matter Where periphyton grows the soil develops into marl which is more calcitic in composition. Native to southern Asia the Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus) is a relatively new invasive species in the Everglades This species can grow up to 20 feet (6.1 m) long and they compete with alligators for the top of the food chain Florida wildlife officials speculate that escaped pythons have begun reproducing in an environment for which they are well-suited in Everglades National Park alone agents removed more than 2,000 Burmese pythons from the park as of 2017 Federal authorities banned four species of exotic snakes including the Burmese python in 2012 the pythons are believed to be responsible for drastic decreases in the populations of some mammals within the park, Who is this degree for People interested in management careers with multinational companies People who are interested in academic or research careers, Hispanic or Latino (of any race) 70.0% 65.0% 22.5%.
