The new rankings place UCF ahead of leading public and private institutions such as Yale University, Carnegie Mellon University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Florida State University.

Although the changes to behavior were not always triggered by free will and in many cases forced by external circumstances, the findings show there are some positive consequences of the pandemic.

How the Earth’s changing climate could impact the vast undersea network of seafloor cables has been relatively understudied until now.

Not only could the research make catalytic converters less attractive to thieves, but it could also help the environment.

A new study shows that models used across the globe to estimate the height of coastal storm waves — critical information when building ports, reinforcing infrastructure and estimating flooding — can differ by several feet.

The tool can provide disaster readiness reports for 13.3 million addresses in 196 counties along the Gulf of Mexico — including all of Florida, and parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas.

The study analyzed tide gauge observations along coastlines in Europe, and the researchers have plans to further develop the method for use in the U.S. and other parts of the world.

The annual list identifies researchers who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field.

The project aims to create climate-resilient decision-making frameworks to equitably support coastal communities.
