A new paper published by an East Carolina University researcher in the Department of Coastal Studies shines light on the effect human-made infrastructure and natural topography has on coastal wetlands after major storm events.

Dust storms and other weather phenomena offset some reductions in PM2.5 aerosol pollution.

Scientists are flying an airborne campaign out of NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia this month to contribute to a joint U.S.-Canadian study on air quality in a region with high surface ozone levels.

The Philadelphia Eagles football team will expand mangrove and seagrass restoration efforts at Puerto Rico’s Jobos Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in order to offset travel-related emissions, in a partnership with the Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Foundation.

Tips from a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service expert on how to beat the heat.

Long famed for its spectacular fishing, sprawling coral reefs and literary residents such as Ernest Hemingway, the Florida Keys is now acknowledging a previously unthinkable reality: it faces being overwhelmed by the rising seas and not every home can be saved.

There have been an unprecedented number of newsworthy hurricanes in recent years—from Hurricane Maria, which dealt at least $43 billion in damage to Puerto Rico’s infrastructure, to last year’s Iota, the strongest hurricane ever to hit Nicaragua, which displaced more than 62,000 people and devastated the country’s harvest. 

Ozone levels in the earth’s troposphere (the lowest level of our atmosphere) can now be forecasted with accuracy up to two weeks in advance, a remarkable improvement over current systems that can accurately predict ozone levels only three days ahead. 

Changes in climate resulting from carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions into the Earth’s atmosphere are not equal to the climate changes from deliberate CO2 removals—and assuming such a balance could lead to different climate outcomes that may skew climate targets, according to new Simon Fraser University-led research.

Earth bears many signs of human influence, from warming that exceeds pre-industrial temperatures to a rising sea.
