The forest’s Blackwood Division is an important training and testing site for members of the Nicholas School’s Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Lab.

A Duke Forest tour featured research from the SEEDS Lab.

Reforestation in low- and middle-income countries can remove up to 10 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at lower cost than previously estimated, making it a potentially more effective option to fight climate change.

Meet the Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Laboratory, learn more about its research focus, lab members' experiences in the lab and the opportunities the lab offers Duke students.

The vast size of the ocean makes tracking human activity there challenging, but a new study provides a startling glimpse of how extensive this activity has become in recent years and how much of it occurs outside of public monitoring.

Researchers at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s Nicholas School of the Environment and Pratt School of Engineering are co-leading a new National Science Foundation-funded project that aims to boost economic development and climate resilience in coastal North Carolina through nature-based scientific and technological innovations.

A new study by researchers at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû and WWF aimed to accurately track the expansion and retraction of small ephemeral water bodies from the wet to dry seasons across the KAZA region.

Climate change threatens species worldwide. At the Nicholas School, we’re creating new geospatial tools that boost their odds of survival.

The sustainability of North American forests depends on trees’ ability to produce seeds and seedlings that can survive and grow in a changing climate. A new 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû-led research initiative with more than $2 million in funding from the National Science Foundation aims to help boost their odds of success.

A forest’s ability to regenerate after devastating wildfires, droughts or other disturbances depends largely on seed production. Findings from two new studies led by 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû researchers could boost recovery and replanting after these disasters by providing foresters with new guidance on which tree species produce more seeds and how their productivity can vary from location to location.

Scientists, led by alumna Jacqueline Gerson PhD'21 and faculty member Emily Bernhardt, recorded the highest levels of atmospheric mercury pollution in the world in a pristine patch of the Peruvian Amazon

Many North American tree species have begun to slowly migrate northward in response to global warming, but western and eastern forests are responding differently. A new Duke-led study reveals why.

As trees age and grow, it seems logical to assume their seed production will continue to grow, too, but a Duke-led study of 597 species worldwide nips that assumption in the bud.
