91ÉçÇø¸£Àû

91ÉçÇø¸£Àû launches Oceans@Duke, an interdisciplinary network of faculty and students working at the intersections of ocean science, policy and business to promote ocean sustainability.

Using drones and artificial intelligence to monitor large colonies of seabirds can be as effective as traditional on-the-ground methods while reducing costs, labor and the risk of human error, a new study finds.

In 2017, a Cuvier’s beaked whale that had been tagged by a team of 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû marine scientists dove deep into the waters off Cape Hatteras, N.C, and stayed below the surface for 3 hours and 42 minutes before coming up for air – making it the longest whale dive ever recorded.

Named for a 20th-century geochemist who determined the age of Earth and the solar system, and who conducted foundational analyses of lead contamination in the environment, the annual award recognizes innovative contributions to environmental geochemistry, particularly in service to society, within the last decade.

Ahead of 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s 2025 commencement ceremony, the Nicholas School of the Environment will recognize undergraduates during a ceremony on Saturday.
