More than 250 metric tons of microplastic are esti­mated to be floating in the world’s oceans, threatening marine life. Ethan Edson's prototype is designed to gather data by tracking these harmful particles.

This summer, an inter­dis­ci­pli­nary research team led by Marine and Environmental Sciences pro­fessor Geoff Trussell will study com­mu­nity orga­ni­za­tion and con­nec­tivity of rocky inter­tidal habi­tats throughout the Gulf of Maine.

Liz Magee traces her passion for diving back to her participation in the Three Seas Program more than 10 years ago, and she couldn’t be happier to have found her way back.

It is widely known that rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are making the oceans more acidic, but how much have the oceans changed since the Industrial Revolution, and what impacts are these changes having on creatures inhabiting the ocean? Associate Professor Justin Ries is looking to rock-forming ‘coralline’ algae to answer these questions.

College of Science professor Brian Helmuth and a group of international researchers recently published a review paper in Climate Change Responses calling for a new approach to understanding and predicting the impact of climate change.

Many of the principal issues facing coastal sustainability in 2015 are ones the field has been dealing with for some time, says Northeastern's Marine Science Center Director Geoff Trussell.

New research from Marine and Environmental Sciences professor Justin Ries explains how moderate increases in ocean acidification and temperature can enhance the growth rates of some reef-forming corals.

Four professors in the College of Science explain what drives their passion for science and discovery.

Catherine Matassa has published a paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Northeastern professor Brian Helmuth, an expert on climate change and environmental policy, has co-authored a paper in the journal Nature Climate Change examining the need to further integrate science into U.S. climate and ocean policy.

Student-researchers at Northeastern's Marine Science Center turned to crowdfunding to support their work in Panama examining white-band disease, which has killed up to 95 percent of the Caribbean's reef building corals.
