Three researchers from the University of Miami are conducting experiments to better determine the important role fish play in the oceanic carbon cycle, studying everything from how much carbonate fish produce to the path of the minerals in the water column.
In the aftermath of the collapse of two dams in the Libyan coastal city of Derna, where floodwaters spawned by a powerful storm killed thousands of people, University of Miami experts in engineering, environmental science, and other fields warn that global infrastructure must be adapted to deal with the climate crisis.
Hundreds of manuscripts, letters, documents, and photos of the esteemed Cuban political columnist and writer will be available to students and scholars through the University of Miami Libraries.
Paloma Cartwright, Rachel Sampson, and Allie Cook all ventured out to sea as part of Rosenstiel School oceanographer Lisa Beal’s ongoing research on how the changing Florida Current will affect sea level rise in Miami, as well as other coastal communities along the East Coast.
David Chapman, an expert who creates computer programs that use images to answer research questions, is the first Knight Foundation Junior Chair in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at the Frost Institute for Data Science and Computing.
As marine heat waves caused by climate change increase in severity and duration, certain species of fish will suffer the consequences. University of Miami marine biologists explain the impacts of rising ocean temperatures on fish.
A global conveyor belt, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is a system of ocean currents that circulates water within the Atlantic Ocean. A University of Miami oceanographer shares input on whether it could shut down, triggering catastrophic changes in weather and climate.
With dangerously high heat and humidity still scorching South Florida, a team of University of Miami graduate students has implemented a variety of strategies—from deploying heat sensors in households to interviewing dozens of residents—to learn more about and help mitigate the effects of extreme heat.
University of Miami oceanographer Lisa Beal and others spent 26 days at sea in the Cape Cauldron off South Africa measuring the dynamic mixing of Indian Ocean and Atlantic waters in an effort to learn more about weather and climate.
The tri-county area is no stranger to lizards. But residents are seeing more of a variety, including a colorful species and another that sports a bold personality and a curly tail. A biology expert explains.
A special sensor developed by two University of Miami graduate students could help protect firefighters from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, present in the warm zone at structural fires.
