The recipients are engineers who work with interdisciplinary teams to solve tech and health problems.

At UCF, researchers are studying a wide range of ways to improve ocean health, from patented soil that can remove up to 90% pollutants from water to saving sea turtles riddled with disease.

A UCF Study finds social media can be a powerful tool for cities to communicate and to collect information to deploy emergency resources where needed most.

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.

Pegasus Professor Stella Sung’s composition Oceana: Sounds of the Sea will invite patrons at UCF Celebrates the Arts into a story they will never forget.

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.

A new UCF-led study reveals how the environment and certain genetic traits play a critical role in the process that trigger bacteria to become human pathogens.

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

The segment covers some of Pegasus Professor Linda Walters’ work with coastal conservation in Florida and its relation to environmental health nationally.
