The research, funded by a grant from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, will examine a method to keep carbon from escaping soils and trapping heat in Earth’s atmosphere.

The green sea turtle population at the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge is an Endangered Species Act success story, due in large part to the work of UCF’s Marine Turtle Research Group.

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

UCF Professor and natural disaster expert Christopher Emrich shares his 10 do’s and four don’t’s for the current hurricane season.

The new collaboration includes 15 faculty members and leaders from minority-serving institutions from across the country.

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.
