Study Finds Flows in Softer Layer Under Tectonic Plates are Stronger, Faster
A new species of Ehu, or deepwater snapper, was discovered and named “Etelis boweni” in recognition of the contributions of Brian Bowen, a researcher at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB), who has spent more than three decades studying marine fishes.
Wastewater is a reliable indicator of the prevalence of COVID-19 in a community, according to new research by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s College of Engineering.
Obesity is one of the most serious public health issues of the 21st century. More than 600 million adults and 100 million children in 200 countries are considered obese.
A team of researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Northwestern University has developed a skin-mounted sticker for diagnosing cystic fibrosis, one of the most common life-shortening genetic disorders.

In a wide-ranging paper, a UC San Diego physician-scientist explains why all chronic diseases are linked by the underlying failure of cells and the body to heal completely
Some four months ago, a devastating flood ravaged the Chamoli district in the Indian Himalayas, killing over 200 people. The flood was caused by a massive landslide, which also involved a glacier. Researchers at the University of Zurich, the WSL and ETH Zurich have now analyzed the causes, scope and impact of the disaster as part of an international collaboration.
The method could be a route to quicker, less invasive cancer diagnoses.
Indigenous peoples pass on their knowledge of medicinal plants orally. If their languages go extinct, valuable medical knowledge will be lost. A study by the University of Zurich estimates that 75 percent of the world’s medicinal plant applications are only known in one language.
Adding coffee pulp to forest floors dramatically restored deteriorating tropical forests in Costa Rica. That’s according to new research from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
The 2018 Kīlauea eruption in Hawaiʻi provided scientists with an unprecedented opportunity to identify new factors that could help forecast the hazard potential of future eruptions.
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.
