Research experience draws students from near and far
Dozens of undergraduate students, including many from other institutions, recently wrapped up a 10-week summer research experience in labs across the University of Miami.
‘Windfall’ technology to power cargo ships
A University of Miami researcher is developing wind-powered cylinders that would propel today’s massive cargo ships, lessening the shipping industry’s dependence on fossil fuels and cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Uncovering new insights about native palms
Biology senior Isabella Childress is interning at one of South Florida’s oldest palm collections and hopes to glean new knowledge about a species known as the Miami palmetto.
On a Black Sea dive, this archeologist makes quite a find
University of Miami graduate student Efrain Ocasio joined an international student dive expedition in Bulgaria this summer that uncovered the foundation of a centuries-old fortress wall buried by the shifting seas.
Investigating the genesis of hurricanes
Quinton Lawton, a recent Ph.D. graduate of the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, studies the way in which Kelvin waves can influence the formation of tropical cyclones.
What’s in the sludge? This intern seeks to know.
Together with a cohort of students from around the country, Jessica Jarratt is interning in a marine science laboratory in Virginia, quantifying and characterizing microplastics in biosolids.
The corals of the future
A Rosenstiel School research team recently imported dozens of live corals from Tela Bay, Honduras, known for its warm and murky waters, to breed them with Florida corals in an effort to make more resilient offspring.
Amplifying research that reaches the public
The University of Miami’s Center for HIV and Research in Mental Health is hosting its first weeklong program to train researchers in implementation science methods to help end the HIV epidemic.
As a busy hurricane season looms, new forecast model in the eye
A record 17 to 25 named storms have been predicted for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, with 8 to 13 of them becoming hurricanes. A new forecast model jointly created by researchers at NOAA and the University of Miami will provide better diversity of prediction tools.
10 years of sustained growth
During its decade-long existence, Rosenstiel School’s 75-foot-long hurricane simulator has helped usher in a wave of international scientists and cutting-edge projects—from hybrid coral reefs to ocean-tracking devices.
Demystifying the complex nature of Arctic clouds
A team of University of Miami scientists and others recently spent weeks in the Arctic region studying marine cold-air outbreaks and how the clouds they produce can lead to extreme weather events and may be interacting with the rapidly warming Arctic.
