The world’s ocean is steadily losing its year-to-year memory due to global warming, according to a study published in Science Advances co-authored by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa atmospheric scientist.
The negative effects of food preservatives on the mouth microbiome (the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and their genes, that naturally live inside and on human bodies), are shown through a study by University of Hawaiʻi Maui College students.
Hawaiʻi Gov. David Ige allowed individual counties to make their own COVID-19 pandemic rules and orders beginning on December 1, 2021.
Microbes may be small, but they are highly impactful to environmental and human health amid a changing climate.
A new study led by University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researchers found that Hawaiʻi patients with cancer who were enrolled in therapeutic clinical trials had significantly more positive care coordination experiences.
A University of Hawaiʻi researcher has identified a rare bacterium that is active against certain cancers
An international team of researchers, including several from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, has quantified five critical ecological processes on more than 500 coral reefs worldwide to understand how these processes relate to each other, what may distinguish the most functional reefs, and what that means for our management of reef functioning. They said this research drastically changes the way we need to approach coral reef restoration.
Antarctic sea-ice has expanded over the period of continuous satellite monitoring, which seemingly contradicts ongoing global warming resulting from increasing concentrations of greenhouse gasses.
A new species of wasp was discovered on the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa campus. Mymarommatoidea—a group of miniscule but very beautiful wasps, around 0.5 mm in length—had been emerging from branches of a banyan tree on campus. Living individuals in their natural environment have never been recorded in scientific literature.
When our Sun reaches the end of its life, it will expand to 100 times its current size, enveloping the Earth. Many planets in other solar systems face a similar doom as their host stars grow old.
As the price of metals surge amid fears of a supply disruption due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa project that earned a $670,000 National Science Foundation grant in 2021 has published groundbreaking results related to bismuth, a cheaper and non-toxic alternative to costly metals, such as platinum and palladium.
A team of researchers have spent years taming mysterious marine microbes from the open ocean to grow in a lab, to investigate their feeding habits.
For the first time, scientists have a comprehensive overview of the gaps in our knowledge about ocean areas targeted for deep-sea mining and how they could be impacted.
A long-term study of Hawaiian coral species provided a surprisingly optimistic view of how they might survive warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change.
Scientists understand that animals such as salmon, butterflies and birds have an innate magnetic sense, allowing them to use Earth’s magnetic field for navigation to places to feed and breed.
Pedestrian deaths are on the rise in Hawaiʻi and the nation, but it is easy to miss that statistic when local newspapers and television stations cover the traffic crashes as isolated events. In reality, crash fatalities are often the result of dangerous travel conditions that disproportionately impact people walking and bicycling due to their increased vulnerability.
To help Hawaiʻi’s tourism industry recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa suggests a potentially under-utilized form of revenue that visitors are actually willing to pay for: sustainable experiences.
Lucy Will’s fascination with the unknown swirling within our vast universe fueled her mission to decipher its mysteries.
A team of researchers have spent years taming mysterious marine microbes from the open ocean to grow in a lab, to investigate their feeding habits.
The discovery of two new and unusual species of diatoms (phytoplankton) in Hawaiian waters was announced by a team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers in the Department of Oceanography’s Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education (C-MORE), along with collaborators at the University of California Santa Cruz, and California State University San Marcos.
