Governments at every level have taken steps over the last decade to reduce the flow of plastic pollution into the world’s oceans, according to a recently published 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû policy analysis. The analysis finds, however, that the vast majority of new policies have focused specifically on plastic shopping bags.

The Migratory Connectivity in the Ocean (MiCO) system, an online open-access global database that maps the movements of sea turtles, whales, sea birds and other migratory species through the open ocean, has been awarded the 2020 Innovation Award by the Ocean Awards program.

To devise effective and equitable policies for governing small-scale fisheries, policymakers need to consider the activities and relationships that occur before and after fishers land their catches, not just the catches themselves, a new study shows.

Pollution declines from pandemic shutdowns may aid in answering long-standing questions about how aerosols influence climate.

Global methane levels have hit an all-time high after what appears to be a near-record yearly atmospheric increase in the potent greenhouse gas.

New NOAA analysis highlights an alarming trend; experts call for curbing pollution from oil and gas wells

A Duke Ph.D. candidate in marine science and conservation uses drones to measure whales and other marine mammals.

Reforestation has been shown to cool surface temperatures, and a novel study suggests it may also reduce air temperature up to several stories above the ground.

Scientists have devised a simple new model that explains how the undesirable effects of urban heat islands vary across seasons. Their results could help cities in different climatic regions design heat mitigation strategies.

Scholars across Duke are working on the complex regulations governing the use of the ocean, and studying the impact of industry on its teeming diversity of life.

The ratio of carbon isotopes in three common species of tuna has changed substantially since 2000, suggesting major shifts are taking place in phytoplankton populations that form the base of the ocean’s food web, a new international study finds.

Scientists at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s Marine Geospatial Ecology Lab and other leading marine research institutions worldwide have created an open-access online database that maps the movements of migratory species through the open ocean.
