Buried deep in the muck beneath ancient Arctic lakes, there are clues that can help scientists learn what the climate was like thousands of years ago — and what it could be in the future.

A team of engineers and students from UNH’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) recently returned from a voyage that deployed the first autonomous (robotic) surface vessel — the Bathymetric Explorer and Navigator (BEN) — from a NOAA ship far above the Arctic Circle.

Groundwater containing excess nitrogen from agricultural fertilizers likely contaminated coral reefs on the Cook Islands according to a new study.

Humans may have been cultivating plants on a narrow coastal strip in Brazil as far back as 4,800 years ago, according to a new study.

Sunlight drives molecules far from equilibrium, enabling new chemical pathways.

Reptiles that start out cheap, small and cute are the most likely to be released or escape – and potentially disrupt ecosystems, Rutgers study shows.

Water is essential to Manitoba, from agriculture to drinking water to hydroelectric generation, but it can also be dangerous; floods and droughts are both threats to our province.

A new study by scientists at the University of Bristol has shown that ancient global warming was associated with intense rainfall events that had a profound impact on the land and coastal seas.

Permafrost soils store large quantities of frozen carbon and play an important role in regulating Earth’s climate.

Less is more: reduced nitrogen has greater potential than originally thought.
