Sewage pollution is a leading driver of water quality degradation globally, with multiple human and environmental health impacts. This post explores how researchers are using cutting-edge, next-generation, genomic sequencing techniques to differentiate between sources of sewage pollution in Hilo, Hawaiʻi.
Anxiety around climate change is a feeling experienced by many, especially those involved with assessing its impacts. Learn about how this Sea Grant student combats that anxiety by taking action through research and thinking about her place in the communities of science and the world.
What marine fish larvae eat in the wild is mostly unknown. Come learn how this Grad Fellow’s research uses advanced DNA technology to attempt to resolve that question, to improve the ability of raising valuable ornamental fish in captivity.
Groundwater contamination plays a much deeper role than just the concern of whether our drinking water is safe; it also has major implications for ecosystem balances. Come read about this project focused on picking apart what human sources are responsible for groundwater contamination and new ways we might be able to tackle tracing those sources.
How do you cope with rising seas against a built-up coastline like Waikīkī? Bring minds together from across the spectrum to work together! Come learn about a project that brought the science and architectural design communities, together with interested parties from the public, to explore the future of Waikīkī’s built environment.
