A summer of wildlife
Senior Teagan Johnson tested the waters as a marine mammal intern at the Alaska SeaLife Center.
Unearthing Florida’s hidden soil secrets
At the Archbold Biological Station in Central Florida, University of Miami researchers are exploring the hidden world of the Florida scrub's unique ecosystem—its soil microbiome. Their work focuses on understanding how intense storms impact vital organisms such as bacteria and fungi, which are critical for nutrient cycling and the ecosystem’s overall health.
A holistic view of fish in the larval stage
Through a unique intersection of art and science, Megan Bernini, a recent graduate from the Rosenstiel School, creates a visual representation of fish in the larval stage, helping researchers better understand fish morphology.
Undergraduate students get direct research experience at the U
Seventeen students from colleges across the country visited the University of Miami and worked in physics and engineering labs across campus as part of the National Science Foundation’s research experiences for undergraduates this summer.
‘Jaws’ spawned a new generation of shark research
Fifty years after the summer blockbuster debuted in theaters, research on sharks has accelerated at a breakneck pace. But the creatures are in trouble, with many species threatened by extinction, while myriad questions remain about them.
Paving the way for human eye transplants
Biomedical engineer Ashutosh Agarwal is collaborating with researchers at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute and the Miller School of Medicine to develop a device crucial to their effort to complete a whole human eye transplant.
Rosenstiel School sets a new course
Ben Kirtman, a renowned atmospheric scientist who raised the bar in the study of climate predictability, has been named the new dean of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science.
Innovative tool tracks early signs of hurricane formation
An AI model created by a University of Miami doctoral student has proven remarkably effective in identifying and tracking tropical easterly waves, clusters of clouds and wind that can develop into powerful hurricanes.
Unraveling the mystery of gravity waves
A monthlong field campaign led by a University of Miami scientist and others helped shed new light on convective gravity waves that affect global circulation patterns and influence weather and climate.
Kryptonite for hurricanes
Dust from the Saharan Air Layer, which has reached South Florida, can suppress tropical cyclone development. But there’s a caveat. A University of Miami meteorologist explains how the phenomenon works.
Exploring our changing South Florida landscape
A new grant from the Mellon Foundation is giving rise to a research project and set of courses that will explore Miami’s environmental history.
