The La Niña event forecast for this winter may deliver more snow than usual to the Northwestern U.S. and dry, warm weather to the South.

Jonathan Blazek, assistant professor of physics, said the geometric storm won’t have a severe impact on technology.

Some marine animals will escape by going farther out to sea; however, others could perish along the beaches, says Mark Patterson, a professor at Northeastern’s Marine Science Center.

As Hurricane Milton barrels toward central Florida, Northeastern University disaster recovery experts say residents should expect extensive destruction from the storm and its surge — particularly if Tampa is hit directly.

Before the aftermath of Hurricane Helene dumped more than 30 inches of rain on some parts of western North Carolina and led to historic flooding that has killed more than 30 people in the mountainous region, Asheville was known as a “climate haven.”

In today's digital landscape, where effective science communication is essential, three graduate students from the College of Science launched the inaugural BIMODAL (Belonging in Media: Opportunities in Digital Academic Landscapes) workshop, held on August 27th and 29th, at Northeastern University, with participants from an array of majors across the College of Science.

Congratulations to John Coley (PI), Brian Helmuth (Co-PI), and Catie Nielson (Co-PI) on by the National Science Foundation, STEM Education Directorate (EDU), Education Core Research Program on their project: “Cognitive Foundations of Environmental Science Education: Exploring Impacts of Human Exceptionalism on Marine Social-Ecological Systems Thinking”.

Loretta Fernandez and her colleagues have been working on creating passive samplers that would allow them to locate old munitions by detecting degraded compounds in the water.

In recently published research, Gabriela Garcia and her collaborators have developed a framework for how to understand alternate bearing.

Mark Patterson, a professor at Northeastern University's Marine Science Center, studied hundreds of coralliths off the coast of the Florida Keys.

Jim Chen, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and marine and environmental sciences, expects a lot of strong hurricanes this year that will require preparation to mitigate impact.

In a paper published this past spring, Northeastern University professor Damon Hall argues that ‘citizen science’ partnerships historically have been unbalanced, with researchers taking more from participating communities than they give back.

From a college student at a small liberal arts college in Pennsylvania to a fish veterinarian at North Carolina State University’s Veterinary School, Dr. Greg Lewbart credits his current success to Northeastern University’s Master’s program.

It turns out plastics in the ocean do more than suffocate turtles, fish and other marine life. A new study co-authored by Northeastern researcher Aron Stubbins shows that microplastics may reduce the ability of the ocean to help offset the climate crisis by slowing down the rate at which carbon is taken from the sea […]
