The individual laboratories of each faculty member are equipped with modern equipment specific to each persons need. Laboratories currently in operation in the department are equipped for: water-quality analysis, trace-element analysis, radio chemistry, mariculture, numerical modeling, and fluid dynamics.

Having the facilities of all physical and life sciences at Florida State University adjacent to each other makes the interdisciplinary Biogeochemical Dynamics program particularly attractive. Both formal and informal cooperative efforts between the various science departments have flourished for years.

Facilities in departments include: the Antarctic Research Facility and Core Library in the Geology Department, the Biological Science Imaging Resources and Analytical Laboratory and Research Facility in the Biological Sciences Department, the Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Laboratories in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. Additional analytical facilities are available at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory. Field work is supported by the FSU Marine Lab and the FSU Academic Diving Program.
