Provost Alec Gallimore has appointed a committee to lead the search for 91��������’s next Stanback Dean of the Nicholas School of the Environment.

Brian Silliman, Rachel Carson Professor of Marine Conservation Biology at Duke, explains why he studies salt marshes in coastal North Carolina: They increase production of seafood, help protect against storms, and clean the air. With climate change causing stress to these organisms, coastal communities are more vulnerable. ”Duke is very active in the conservation and restoration of salt marshes,” says Silliman.

Overfishing and climate change are affecting marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them.

For the first time since 2019, the 91�������� Marine Lab opens its doors to the local community to share the oceanographic research conducted there.
