A new appointee in Northeastern’s Marine and Environmental Sciences (MES) department, Aron Stubbins studies how the carbon cycle plays out in natural aquatic environments – from rivers to lakes to oceans.

Northeastern has recognized the societal need to train environmental professionals that can connect the science with the policy. Northeastern’s new Master’s program in Environmental Science and Policy is designed for students interested in gaining expertise that integrates science and policy.

Congrats to Allison Matzelle of the Helmuth Lab for winning a competitive university award to wrap up her dissertation in the coming months.

Recent PhD graduate Rebecca Certner and her advisor, Steve Vollmer, are contributing to the emerging field of quorum sensing as mechanism for coral disease development.

Jon Rodemann's research shows that predatory rates of fish close to shore are higher at low latitudes on the US east coast due to more species interactions.

The Grabowski Lab and colleagues returned to a restored oyster reef 13 years later to assess how the restoration has affected fish and crustacean communities on the reef.

A team of Marine Science Center researchers working in Panama are studying disease in tropical corals investigate whether the disease may be spread by microscopic marine animals living in the water.

Staff and students from the Marine Science Center recently attended a celebration in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. sponsored by the Lynn Museum/LynnArts and other community organizations.

Associate professor Jen Bowen and colleagues recently had some of their peer-reviewed work appear in the journal Environmental Science for Teens.

Undergraduate student Tim Briggs (S'19) spent six weeks during the summer of 2017 combining his passion for marine science and underwater photography.

Research from the Trussell Lab provides further evidence to the theory that parent snails pass along a fear of predation to their offspring, which results in changes in the embryonic growth of those offspring.

Research out of the Bowen Lab suggest that different oyster farming practices alter sediment carbon in different ways, though there were no differences observed in the abundance of pathogenic Vibrio across sites sampled.

As restoration projects throughout Massachusetts and the country focus on restoring natural ecosystems, researchers at Northeastern University are looking for ways to better bridge the "practice science gap" between practitioners and biodiversity research in an effort optimize these types of projects.
