How a Northeastern professor and undergraduate students discovered a safe, inexpensive method to preserve DNA in the lab
The Antarctic Ocean of the last ice age has stories to tell about a warming planet
New research describes how a critical process of carbon dioxide storage in the Southern Ocean slowed during the last deglaciation, and how it could be happening again.
Next gen scanner could unlock new treatments for brain injuries
The Center for Translational Neuroimaging recently obtained a Mediso nanoScan 7T PET/MRI scanner, the first of its kind in the United States.
Scientists explore stakeholder-informed spatial modeling for hydrologic sciences
MES researchers convened an NSF-supported workshop exploring the role of stakeholders in hydrological studies and futures
Drought and low water levels could slow global trade at the Panama Canal
New research by professor Samuel Muñoz reports that the risk of shipping disruptions will grow in a warming climate unless steps are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or to adapt to drier conditions.
