Severe U.S. drought undermined Gulf fisheries, raising food security concerns
Reduced Mississippi river flow weakened the base of the marine food web, triggering cascading fishery losses
Vessel traffic alters behavior, stress and population trends of marine megafauna
An analysis of more than 40 years of published scientific literature shows vessel traffic can influence animal behavior, communication, stress physiology, and even long-term population trends.
Using science to help detect risk
The Natural Hazards and Catastrophes track in the Rosenstiel School’s Master of Professional Science program is propelling graduates into careers in insurance and risk-related fields.
New acoustic study reveals deep-diving behavior of elusive beaked whales
Findings provide the first detailed look at Gervais’ beaked whale dives anywhere in the world
Urban light pollution alters nighttime hormones in sharks, study shows
First-ever measurements of melatonin in wild sharks show that artificial light from coastal cities can disrupt nighttime hormone levels, with resident species more affected than highly mobile sharks.
New AI model can assist with early warning for coral bleaching risk
A combined team of atmospheric, coral, and data scientists design and build a six-week heat-stress prediction system for Florida reefs
Atlantic nurse sharks show faster growth patterns in Biscayne Bay than nearby Bimini, Bahamas
A new study based on long-term monitoring data demonstrates significant differences in growth between nurse sharks off the coast of Miami and those living just across the Gulf Stream.
Study finds fisheries management—not predator recovery—drives catch levels in the North Sea
Analysis supports fisheries policies that balance economic and conservation goals
Essay highlights overlooked welfare risks for fish and aquatic animals
Researchers evaluate how standard animal welfare guidelines account for the biological needs of fish and other aquatic animals, including access to dissolved oxygen.
Earth’s growing heat imbalance driven more by clouds than air pollution, study finds
Satellite and reanalysis data show aerosol changes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres largely cancel out, shifting attention to cloud changes due to surface warming and natural climate variability.
