Abstract:
Marine scientists believe that agriculture is responsible for most of the nitrogen pollution flowing into the Neuse River. They are working on a model that shows how an individual farm operation affects the ecosystem, and measures how policies influence people’s behavior.

Abstract:
Tim Bralower, associate professor of geology and of marine sciences, studies ancient plankton called foraminifera. These ancient species were fossilized in volcanic sediments offshore of Colombia, and help explain evolution and global climate change.

Abstract:
Marine geologist Charles Paull discovered a community of organisms in the Gulf of Mexico that survives on chemical energy, not sunlight. The processes associated with the chemosynthetic food chain help explain deep-sea geological processes, and may lead to solutions to chemical pollution.
