An experiential learning program exposes students to science through an artistic lens.

The Plastic Pollution Working Group is Duke’s central hub for sharing work by faculty, staff and students related to plastic debris.

Duke and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have signed an agreement to establish a five-year initiative to support small-scale fisheries worldwide through research, knowledge sharing and capacity building. John Virdin will lead Duke’s efforts.

A new economic analysis found that developing countries pay less for the nutrition in seafood imports than developed countries, largely because developed countries pay a premium for non-nutritional attributes like convenience. The findings suggest that disruptions to the global seafood trade could affect food and nutritional security in countries that depend on seafood imports for meeting their dietary needs.

Ocean waters are getting greener at the poles and bluer toward the equator, according to a new study. The change reflects shifting concentrations of a green pigment called chlorophyll made by photosynthetic algae at the base of the ocean food chain.

For her senior thesis, former Climate Scholar Kendra Rentz studied how physiology affects heat exposure risk among Durham residents. She will continue examining the local impacts of extreme heat as a Ph.D. student at Arizona State University.

Duke researchers published the first evidence that genetic variation contributes to susceptibility to the harmful effects of PFAS, synthetic chemicals widely used in consumer goods.

Because most seafood is imported, tariffs will cause Americans to eat less heart-healthy seafood and more heart-unhealthy red meat.

So-called “forever chemicals” show up everywhere: in drinking water, food and clothing – causing a range of health issues. Lee Ferguson is at the forefront of efforts to keep these pollutants out of state drinking water.

A trove of lithium-rich brine exists underground in Bolivia. Researchers conducted the first comprehensive chemical analysis of wastewater associated with mining the resource.

Urban ecologists developed a new approach to understanding biodiversity patterns in cities. The work could inform efforts to improve access to nature’s benefits.

Small-scale fisheries play a significant but overlooked role in global fisheries production and are key to addressing hunger and malnutrition while supporting livelihoods around the world, according to research featured on the cover of Nature.
