Professor Brian Helmuth and colleagues have developed a new approach designed to avoid generalizations that fail to capture variability in nature.

Research by MSC Associate Professor Jon Grabowski suggests that oyster reefs can grow faster than previously thought - and faster than sea levels can rise.

Does temperature matter to a seaweed? Research by Helmuth Lab graduate student Nicholas Colvard suggests that it does - with tide cycles and climate change as important factors to consider.

Together with faculty members from three of the University's Colleges, Professor Brian Helmuth is working to communicate about climate change through his own work and that of the Urban Coastal Sustainability Initiative.

Retired Marine Col. Mark Mykleby said at a campus lecture this week that the nation's biggest problem is global unsustainability and it will take behavioral change, not national strategy, to fix it.
