Jamaica: No stranger to powerful hurricanes
Hurricane Melissa devastated much of the infrastructure in the island nation, which often experiences the impacts of Atlantic hurricanes. Now, the process of recovery begins.
How Hurricane Melissa exploded into a monster
The Category 5 storm, which left a trail of destruction across the Caribbean, stunned forecasters and meteorologists, achieving extreme rapid intensification as well as a never-before-recorded wind speed near the ocean surface. University of Miami tropical cyclone experts explain how it happened.
Flying into the heart of Melissa
Tropical cyclone scientist Jun Zhang has deployed drones into the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Melissa, aiding forecasters and amassing data that will help in future storm models.
New study documents functional extinction of two critically endangered coral species following record heatwave in Florida
Catastrophic loss of Florida’s staghorn and elkhorn corals highlights accelerating climate pressures for reefs worldwide
University of Miami Rosenstiel School announces 2025 Climate Café series
The two-part public event invites community members to explore the future of Florida’s Coral Reef and the hidden role of deep-sea fish in regulating the planet’s carbon cycle.
A waltz over water, but no landfall dance
With a rare meteorological phenomenon and the absence of a U.S. landfalling cyclone, the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season has so far proved atypical. But that could change, University of Miami experts say.
Marine heatwaves disrupt ocean food webs and slow carbon transport to the deep sea
New study analyzing data from robotic floats and plankton records shows how marine heatwaves reshape ocean food webs and slow the transport of carbon to the deep sea.
