Investigating the genesis of hurricanes
Quinton Lawton, a recent Ph.D. graduate of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, studies the way in which Kelvin waves can influence the formation of tropical cyclones.
What’s in the sludge? This intern seeks to know.
Together with a cohort of students from around the country, Jessica Jarratt is interning in a marine science laboratory in Virginia, quantifying and characterizing microplastics in biosolids.
New study provides enhanced understanding of tropical atmospheric waves
Findings has critical implications for predicting extreme weather events such as hurricanes and heavy rainfall
The corals of the future
A Rosenstiel School research team recently imported dozens of live corals from Tela Bay, Honduras, known for its warm and murky waters, to breed them with Florida corals in an effort to make more resilient offspring.
Amplifying research that reaches the public
The University of Miami’s Center for HIV and Research in Mental Health is hosting its first weeklong program to train researchers in implementation science methods to help end the HIV epidemic.
Making waves
As part of a commitment to help protect coastal communities and marine life, Rosenstiel School doctoral student Peisen Tan studies the dynamics of waves powered for storms.
10 years of sustained growth
During its decade-long existence, Rosenstiel School’s 75-foot-long hurricane simulator has helped usher in a wave of international scientists and cutting-edge projects—from hybrid coral reefs to ocean-tracking devices.
Atlantic hurricane season could be record-breaker
‘Perfect storm’ of a transition from El Niño to La Niña conditions and exceptionally warm Atlantic Ocean temperatures could result in one of the most active hurricane seasons ever.
As a busy hurricane season looms, new forecast model in the eye
A record 17 to 25 named storms have been predicted for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, with 8 to 13 of them becoming hurricanes. A new forecast model jointly created by researchers at NOAA and the University of Miami will provide better diversity of prediction tools.

Student innovators on display
Fifteen teams of engineering students at all levels of their careers competed in the College of Engineering’s Rothberg Catalyzer Pitch Competition.
Demystifying the complex nature of Arctic clouds
A team of University of Miami scientists and others recently spent weeks in the Arctic region studying marine cold-air outbreaks and how the clouds they produce can lead to extreme weather events and may be interacting with the rapidly warming Arctic.
