The work is sponsored by a $12.6 million Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency grant that seeks to create self-repairing, biological and human-engineered reef-mimicking structures.

This study is the first successful test of any red tide mitigation technology in open water using large water column containers called limnocorrals.

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

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.

Emergency management professionals are already reaping the benefits of the team’s labor, as their data will become part of the official USGS database for immediate access by anyone interested in undertaking flooding, hydrology or storm surge modeling.

Space debris can endanger spacecraft and damage satellites that are critical to everything from communication to GPS, air traffic control, surveillance and national security.

The UCF Gulf Scholars Program will begin accepting applications from UCF undergraduate students in Spring 2023, and interested students are encouraged to join the program’s inaugural forum this month.

The work is being presented this week at the United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, which world leaders are attending.

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