Larry Mayer, director of UNH's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping, has been appointed chairperson of the U.S. Arctic Research Commission.

Discover how aquaculture research supported by the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station is advancing sustainability, from oyster health monitoring to combating sea lice to supporting marine growth.

UNH researchers brought in $252 million in competitive external funding in fiscal year 2024, supporting projects that aim to solve problems and improve lives in New Hampshire and beyond.

Fisheries extension specialist Gabriela Bradt received a major Sea Grant award for her work with invasive green crabs.

Could the famously predictable tides provide reliable power to coastal communities? What if the same waves that induce queasiness made aquaculture more productive? The UNH-led Atlantic Marine Energy Center (AMEC) is developing the technology and skills that will unlock the power of the sea as a renewable source of energy. A new $12 million award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will advance these efforts by funding research, facilities and workforce development for the marine energy industry. “There’s a lot of energy in the ocean — it’s abundant and renewable.” “There’s a lot of energy in the ocean — it’s abundant and renewable,” says AMEC director Martin Wosnik, professor of mechanical and ocean engineering at UNH. “We think we can harness some of that energy in a reasonably...
