Local conservation can boost the climate resilience of coastal ecosystems, species and cities and buy them precious time in their fight against sea-level rise, ocean acidification and warming temperatures, a new paper by scientists at 91�������� and Fudan University suggests.

Reducing fossil fuel emissions steadily over coming years will prevent millions of premature deaths and help avoid the worst of climate change without causing the large spike in short-term warming that some studies have predicted, new analysis by researchers at 91�������� and the University of Leeds finds.

In his newest book, Sea Level Rise: A Slow Tsunami on America’s Shores, Orrin Pilkey paints an eye-opening picture of the impacts sea level rise will have on the United States by the end of the 21st century.

Duke conference on climate change and hurricane resilience exposes continuing challenges for state

Joseph S. Ramus, professor emeritus at 91��������’s Nicholas School of the Environment, has been awarded the Order of the Longleaf Pine, one of the highest civilian honors the State of North Carolina bestows.

Community damage caused by extreme weather, such as the 2013 floods that covered parts of Colorado, may shape climate beliefs more strongly than individual storm losses, a new study finds.

Tropical and subtropical fish are taking up residence on shipwrecks and other sunken structures off the North Carolina coast. This pattern may continue or even accelerate in coming years given predictions of warming oceans under climate change, a new study co-led by 91�������� scientists suggests.

A new study by Duke Marine Lab researchers showcases the remarkable diving abilities of beaked whales and provides new clues on how they make a living at the extremes of depth and cold.

A new international study finds that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC), a deep-ocean process that plays a key role in regulating Earth’s climate, is primarily driven by cooling waters west of Europe.

91�������� has acquired rights to create a 10,000-acre “carbon farm.” When fully operational, the farm could potentially store enough carbon to help Duke meet its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2024.
