Early-career scientists at Rutgers lead an ambitious expedition to study ocean mixing and its role in sustaining life and regulating the Earth’s climate Long before they even leave port, Rutgers oceanographic research colleagues and RCEI affiliates Joe Gradone and Corday Selden are thinking about their packing list. It won’t include beach chairs and novels. They are planning for crates of …
Rutgers and Stockton scientists join forces with state officials and a company to restart a pioneering marine observatory A new partnership between Rutgers University, Stockton University, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and marine technology company Ocean Power Technologies Inc. will bring new life to a historic ocean research program off the Jersey Shore. The collaboration is expected to deliver …
Ammonia is essential for making fertilizers that help feed the world, but producing it typically requires massive amounts of energy and releases significant greenhouse gases. Now, researchers have found a promising new way to create ammonia while simultaneously cleaning polluted water. Tewodros (Teddy) Asefa, RCEI Affiliate, Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology & the Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering at Rutgers …
Recent coverage across the New York Times, E&E News, and Inside Climate News examines the Trump administration’s decision to withdraw the United States from cornerstone international climate agreements and institutions, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Together, these moves represent a significant retreat from global climate cooperation and scientific consensus at a moment when climate-driven risks—such …
