Looking beyond the obvious, overturning assumptions and digging deeper has helped these Duke researchers blaze new trails in earth and ecosystem science.

Detecting hidden dangers and pinpointing the culprits can be hard when the perpetrators are microscopic. These researchers have solved vital environmental mysteries, paving the way for healthier futures.

As good samaritans for the environment, these scientists speak up for the animals and speak out against would-be environmental villains, both obvious and hidden.

What is a healthy and sustainable ecosystem worth? These environmental breakthroughs have helped shape how we think about—and measure—the intrinsic value of our natural resources.

Creating a climate of change in a rising tide of bad news requires creativity, innovation and tenacity. Learn about the groundbreaking work that Duke’s environmental scientists have pioneered in the last 30 years.

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.

Starting this fall, Duke undergraduates will be able to pursue 91ÉçÇø¸£Àûs at the Nicholas School in two new majors: Earth and Climate Sciences (ECS), and Marine Science & Conservation (MSC).

The Nicholas School’s Earth and Ocean Sciences Division has a new name. Effective this spring, it became the Earth and Climate Sciences Division.

Quick takes on some notable recent research grants and the work they’ll support.

Ecohydrologist Ryan E. Emanuel, known for his innovative scholarship on water, environmental justice and Indigenous rights, is joining the faculty at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s Nicholas School of the Environment.
