The Hawaiian blue rice coral may reveal important clues as to how some corals might weather climate change according to a team of scientists from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and the Smithsonian Institute.
The first study to characterize the frequency of several atmospheric disturbance types in Hawaiʻi and the magnitude of rainfall associated with them aims to help inform future water management decisions in the state.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are complex organic molecules that may incorporate up to one-third of the organic carbon in our galaxy and are involved in fundamental molecular mass growth processes in our galaxy.
Coral reefs could be almost extinct in 30 to 50 years, under the worst-case scenario, according to an international group of scientific experts, including University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa research professor Robert H. Richmond, who identified and discussed the requirements for coral reef survival in an article in Biological Conservation.
Compared to the fattening up power of soybeans and corn, high-fiber animal feeds are often considered to be inefficient for optimal growth and production. But livestock producers may want to reconsider that stance.
How many Native Hawaiians have a health condition called “metabolic syndrome,” a cluster of the most dangerous risk factors for having a heart attack or stroke?
Expanded restoration of Indigenous practices will more than compensate for projected losses of endangered waterbird habitat.
Formerly houseless Native Hawaiian and Micronesian families and their successful journey to obtain stable housing is the focus of a new pilot study by social work researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Astronomers at the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea are part of a team that came across a very rare find nestled billions of light years away that could help to quantify the universe.
Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative health effects of sugary drinks, yet prior to a recent law aimed at improving healthy options for Hawaiʻi’s keiki, it was rare to find healthy beverages as a “default” option with kids’ meals in Hawaiʻi restaurants.
Drone technology by the University of Hawaiʻi Marine Mammal Research Program (MMRP) was used to document rapid weight loss in a group of distressed pygmy killer whales off Maui in 2019.
As global warming threatens to decrease crop yields, a newly discovered gene may help plants resist heat stress, strengthening our agricultural response.
Hiring, promotion and tenure within universities are based on objective metrics of performance, something that is often evaluated using metrics that disproportionately favor men over women, such as citations and invited lectureships.
