Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler, a Professor of Biology and Earth & Environment, co-authored a new paper exploring using oysters for long-term removal of nitrogen from coastal ecosystems. In the paper, published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, the authors explain that the complex biogeochemistry of denitrification has limited policy consideration of oyster-mediated denitrification within nutrient […]
Former Pardee Center Graduate Summer Fellow Nicholas Ray and Faculty Research Fellow Prof. Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler co-authored a new paper presenting a review of how we assess denitrification in oyster habitats. In recent years, oyster aquaculture has been recognized as a novel technique to remove excess nitrogen from coastal ecosystems. In this paper, published in the […]
Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler, a Professor of Biology and Earth & Environment and a Pardee Center Faculty Research Fellow, co-authored a new paper exploring the opportunities for enhanced denitrification in oyster habitats. In the paper, published in the journal Estuaries and Coasts, the authors explain that policy interest in nitrogen removal from oyster habitats has so […]
Les Kaufman, a Professor in the Department of Biology and a Faculty Associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, led a team of four co-authors on the concluding chapter of a new book on coral reef restoration. The book, titled Active Coral Restoration: Techniques for a Changing Planet, was edited […]
On March 3, 2021, the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future hosted a virtual symposium titled “Oceans Past, Present & Future: Historical Ecology & Circumpolar Fisheries Management.” The symposium featured a keynote address by Loren McClenachan (Elizabeth and Lee Ainslie Associate Professor of Environmental Studies at Colby College) and an […]
Emily Klein, a senior post-doctoral associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently gave a talk for UMass Dartmouth’s School for Marine Science & Technology weekly seminar series. In her talk, Klein explained her research on sustainable ocean management for balancing ecological and human well-being goals. Specifically, she […]
Former Pardee Center Graduate Summer Fellow Nicholas Ray and Faculty Research Fellow Prof. Robinson (Wally) Fulweiler co-authored a new paper exploring the impacts of oysters on coastal biogeochemistry. In the paper, published in the journal Nature Sustainability, the authors used a meta-analysis approach to assess how oyster reef restoration and oyster aquaculture development is changing coastal […]
Catherine West, a Research Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Archaeology and a Faculty Research Fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, recently co-authored a paper exploring the size of cod in the North Pacific over the past several thousand years. The paper, published in the journal Quaternary Research, […]
Andrea Capurro, a Visiting Research Fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, was recently featured in a National Geographic documentary titled “The Antarctic Peninsula.” The documentary is the result of a 2019 expedition by the governments of Argentina and Chile in collaboration with National Geographic Pristine Seas, […]
Emily Klein, a senior post-doctoral associate at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future, is the lead author of three new papers with colleagues at the NOAA Antarctic Ecosystem Research Division, stemming from work to support ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean. Antarctic krill, a small marine crustacean, are critical […]
