Two teams featuring University of New Hampshire participants — one focused on sustainable seafood and another on precision forest management — are among the 15 finalists for the U.S. Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program, the National Science Foundation announced this week. The two New Hampshire projects, selected from a field of nearly 300, aim to revitalize economic growth and job creation in two heritage New England industries — seafood and forestry — with public-private partnerships, advanced technologies and research. The NSF Engines program represents one of the largest public investments in place-based technology development intended to spur economic growth and job creation since the establishment of the American land-grant universities. NSF will conduct in-depth, in-...

Take a tour of the Shoals Marine Laboratory, located on the rugged, beautiful Appledore Island off the coast of Maine and New Hampshire. Aimee Bousquet, a marine, estuarine, and freshwater biology major at UNH, shows what life is really like at Shoals: immersive fieldwork, small classes, sustainable living, and unforgettable experiences surrounded by ocean and science. Whether you’re interested in marine biology, sustainability, conservation, or just want to learn by doing, Shoals offers the kind of hands-on learning that makes a lasting impact.

UNH is one of 10 graduate schools nationwide to partner in a National Science Foundation grant aimed at improving outcomes for STEM Ph.D. students.

Researchers from UNH's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping helped find more than a dozen World War II shipwrecks in the Solomon Islands.

White sharks appear to be using New Hampshire waters as “a bit of a highway to get further up the coast,” says researcher Nathan Furey, a conclusion based on data gathered from a partnership with the town of Hampton to place acoustic receivers in the ocean in order to track local shark activity.

What are indirect costs, and how does the government's proposal of reducing them affect research at UNH?
