It’s the stuff of nightmares and horror movies: Tiny estuarine mud crabs become infected with an invasive parasite that takes over their bodies and brains. But it isn’t fiction, and �鶹��Ƶ’s team of researchers is learning more about these invaders and how they impact the ecology of our region.

�鶹��Ƶ scientists Tom Lovejoy and Ed Maibach discuss global climate change and the loss of biodiversity.

Over the two past years, two �鶹��Ƶ systems engineering senior design teams developed a tool to help two Maryland counties make complex financial decisions to reduce their CO2 emissions.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is working with a group of scientists from �鶹��Ƶ’s Center for Ocean Land Atmosphere Studies (COLA) to update its drought forecasting system.

Climate change is coming for your morning cup of joe. �鶹��Ƶ neuroscience professor Theodore (Ted) Dumas is worried about that and thinks you should be too.

The installation of the first Bigbelly zero waste station on �鶹��Ƶ’s Fairfax Campus aligns with the university’s waste reduction commitment and draws attention to how single-use consumption and disposal is connected to negative environmental outcomes.

�鶹��Ƶ’s Ed Maibach is the most influential scientist working on climate change among America’s public universities

�鶹��Ƶ’s Thomas Lovejoy was elected to the National Academy of Sciences this week, joining an elite group of 120 scholars recognized this year for their contributions to science and research.

Thomas Lovejoy was among the roughly 100 scientists serving on a Scientific Advisory Group that helped craft the U.N.’s “Making Peace with Nature” report that envisions a sustainable economy driven by renewable energy and nature-based solutions that will create new jobs, cleaner infrastructure and a more resilient future.
