As part of a month-long underwater research mission, graduate student Allison Matzelle will lead a project studying the flow of energy through one of the oldest organisms in the world: the giant barrel sponge.

The extent to which an intertidal organism can withstand increased temperature over time is the subject of a recent publication by Professor Brian Helmuth and colleagues

Northeastern researchers will investigate the effects of global change on reef ecology as part of Mission 31, documentary filmmaker Fabien Cousteau's 31-day underwater expedition off the coast of Florida.

Climate models can help to predict biological responses to climate change, even when species are accustomed to fluctuating conditions

Graduate student Allison Matzelle and colleagues look at how some species of the same genus may fare better than others in a changing climate

As we get ready to face another winter storm, and are still warming up from a frigid January, there are plenty of people questioning the validity of climate change.

Less than 0.1 per­cent of the planet’s water is avail­able for safe use, and chal­lenges cen­tered on H2O form the nexus of some of society’s most pressing envi­ron­mental issues.

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.

Brian Helmuth's work was recently featured in International innovation.

North­eastern researchers are teaming up with Jacques Cousteau’s grandson to reignite the famous oceanographer’s sin­gular vision.
