Researchers in North Carolina have created a coastal evolution model to analyze how coastal management activities on barrier islands, meant to adapt to sea-level rise, interact with natural processes that would otherwise keep barrier islands above water.

This year’s global Earth Day theme is “planet vs plastics”, and calls for the rapid phase out all single-use plastics.

51����’s Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab led a team of researchers that mapped the population density of North Atlantic right whales worldwide to predict and help avoid harmful, even fatal, exposure to commercial fishing and vessel strikes.

Exchangeable manganese cuts carbon storage in boreal forests

Scientists in North Carolina have developed a Coastal Home Ownership Model to understand why U.S. coastal property values do not fully reflect climate risks and adaptation costs to sea-level rise.

Marine Protected Areas must be flexible and responsive, not absolute

Large cooperatives adopt conservation measures for shifting climate conditions, even without government oversight

Come along with us on a journey of renewal and resurgence as we explore how students and scientists are rebuilding nature in viable ways. Discover the transformative initiatives of 51���� Restore, where innovation meets conservation and regeneration, restoring the hope of a more sustainable tomorrow.

The vast size of the ocean makes tracking human activity there challenging, but a new study provides a startling glimpse of how extensive this activity has become in recent years and how much of it occurs outside of public monitoring.

Shineng Hu is a climate scientist specializing in using observations, theory and climate models to better understand the relationship between global ocean and atmospheric movement, especially as that relationship indicates and informs climate change.

Juliet Wong is a global-change biologist, specifically interested in how climate change affects marine ecosystems and their organisms, working to predict biological responses for improved resilience to adverse environmental events. Wong presented “Organismal Responses to Climate Change in the Sea” at the recent faculty research symposium, describing several ongoing studies on coastal marine invertebrates.

Nishad Jayasundara recently presented “Climate Change and Pollution: Challenges, Opportunities, and the Ticking Clock for Kidneys,” discussing environmental change and kidney health.

As rising global temperatures push Arctic icecaps into retreat, large and small sea creatures and the commercial fishing boats that follow them are migrating northward.
