Rutgers-Led Study Finds Big Increase in Ocean Carbon Dioxide Absorption Along West Antarctic Peninsula
Long-term measurements reveal links between climate change and ocean carbon dynamics Climate change is altering the ability of the Southern Ocean off the West Antarctic Peninsula to absorb carbon dioxide, according to a Rutgers-led study, and that could magnify climate change in the long run. The study, led by scientists at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, is […]
Rutgers-led University Consortium Awarded Funding for Atlantic Seaboard Fisheries Research
Led by Rutgers University, a consortium of 14 shellfish geneticists from 12 East Coast universities and government agencies has won a five-year, $4.4 million grant funded by NOAA Fisheries through the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission to develop new tools to accelerate selective breeding to support oyster aquaculture. Ximing Guo, distinguished professor and renowned shellfish […]
Scientists Discover Key Factors in How Some Algae Harness Solar Energy
Rutgers-led research could help lead to more efficient and affordable algal biofuels Scientists have discovered how diatoms – a type of alga that produce 20 percent of the Earth’s oxygen – harness solar energy for photosynthesis. The Rutgers University-led discovery, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, could help lead to […]
Oceanography Interns Shine at Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research Lab
The Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences runs an NSF-funded summer oceanography internship program called Research Internships in Oceanography (RIOS), which is currently guided by professor Josh Kohut. The program, which has hosted 183 undergraduates from all over the US for the past 15 years, hosts interns in the study of a range of topics, […]

Rutgers Professor Publishes Fourth Edition of Bestselling Marine Science Book
Mike Kennish, professor emeritus in the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences, is the author of the newly published fourth edition of the marine science book, Practical Handbook of Marine Science. The volume adds a new, in-depth section devoted to “Climate Change and Climate Change Effects” and includes highly revised sections on Estuaries, Beaches, Barrier […]
Rutgers Researchers Identify the Origins of Metabolism
A Rutgers-led study sheds light on one of the most enduring mysteries of science: How did metabolism – the process by which life powers itself by converting energy from food into movement and growth – begin? To answer that question, the researchers reverse-engineered a primordial protein and inserted it into a living bacterium, where it […]
Havishk Tripathi Wins NASA Astrobiology Early Career Collaboration Award
Rutgers undergraduate Havishk Tripathi was awarded a NASA Astrobiology Institute Early Collaboration Award earlier this spring. Typically most of these awards go to graduate students and post-docs, and is usually awarded to a small number of individuals of the highest merit each year. Tripathi has been working in the laboratory of Distinguished Professor Paul Falkowski […]
