The work is part of a multiyear effort to develop a distributed sensor network for relaying data collected from this critical region.

Wildfires in the Mediterranean region are becoming drastically more intense. 

The Antarctic ozone layer is recovering, a major environmental success following the Montreal Protocol. 

Many of the Antarctic’s smallest inhabitants have evolved over millions of years so their body fluids are similar in chemical composition to that of sea water.

As one moves north, Maine’s kelp forests are being overtaken by dense mats of carpet-like turf algae.

While long-term data shows that Hawaiʻi is getting drier overall, short, intense downpours that cause sudden, dangerous flash floods are getting stronger in the islands, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Many lizards have nanoscopic hairs covering their bodies. A study by Kiel University shows that these structures may help them survive in the desert.

A new project led by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa will use artificial intelligence (AI) to help predict how rising seas and stronger storms could threaten coastal freshwater supplies and ecosystems.

When Drew Bouchie (CAS’24) and his classmates enrolled in “Marine Physiology and Climate Change,” as part of the Boston University Marine Program (BUMP) “Marine Semester” in November 2023, they had no idea it would lead to a published study.

Microplastics are turning up almost everywhere – from oceans and rivers to soils and sediments – yet far less is known about what happens when they enter freshwater wetlands.
