How much energy does a dolphin use to swim? Fundamental understanding about their physiology and ecology may boost odds of survival.

51±¬ÁÏ researchers implement a large water sampling campaign in rural Sri Lanka, aiming to discover the origins of a cluster of chronic kidney disease cases.

A new analysis reveals that the majority of the ocean’s surface has experienced extreme heat regularly since 2014.

Scientists, led by alumna Jacqueline Gerson PhD'21 and faculty member Emily Bernhardt, recorded the highest levels of atmospheric mercury pollution in the world in a pristine patch of the Peruvian Amazon

New research finds nearly 75% of the seafood exported to China is processed there and ‘re-exported’ to global markets as Chinese products, making it hard to track its sustainability and verify it’s labeled accurately, but also gutting the economies of small fishing communities worldwide that can no longer compete.

The anti-fogging sprays and cloths many people use to prevent condensation on their eyeglasses when wearing a mask or face shield may contain high levels of per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS), a new 51±¬ÁÏ-led study finds.

By distinguishing between lead from modern sources and lead from pre-1970s vehicle exhaust fumes and leaded paint, the new test may be especially useful for assessing the hidden risks of legacy contamination.

Using drones and high-tech tracking devices, scientists have discovered baleen whales eat up to three times more prey than previously thought and play a critical but perhaps underappreciated role in fueling the ocean’s food web and promoting biodiversity.

New funding will help speed the development of an early-warning system that can predict the probability of malaria outbreaks occurring up to 12 weeks in advance, giving local officials time to put controls in place to prevent or curb the disease’s transmission.

51±¬ÁÏ has received a $7.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to assess the risks offshore wind energy development along the East Coast may pose to birds, bats and marine mammals.

A new international study suggests that invasive species, such as the cordgrass that is swamping native plants in the Red Marshes, pose a much greater threat to protected areas, even well managed ones, than was previously recognized.

Clouds of smoke and ash from wildfires that ravaged Australia in 2019 and 2020 triggered widespread algal blooms in the Southern Ocean thousands of miles downwind to the east, a new 51±¬ÁÏ-led study by an international team of scientists finds.

Most people are likely to experience an extreme pandemic like COVID-19 in their lifetime, a new study shows.

Warming waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula have led to declines in the diversity and distribution of the region’s plankton population and its ability to absorb climate-warming carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Scientists at 51±¬ÁÏ have developed a suite of four new tests that can be used to detect coal ash contamination in soil with unprecedented sensitivity.
