Discover how UNH researchers use integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) with seaweed and oysters to reduce nitrogen pollution in sustainable shrimp farming.

In March, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted the first-ever national climate disclosure rule, a decision signifying that publicly traded companies will be legally required to disclose their greenhouse gas emissions and other climate risk factors for the first time.

Estuaries in New England are crucial for wildlife and aquaculture, but microplastics pose a growing threat. UNH researchers are studying microplastic movement and accumulation to mitigate risks.

Archaeologists at the University of New Hampshire along with a historian at Northeastern University believe they have unearthed the long-lost homestead of King Pompey, an enslaved African who won his freedom and later became one of the first Black property owners in colonial New England.

“We are thrilled,” said Meghan Howey, professor of anthropology and director of the University of New Hampshire’s Center for the Humanities. “I’m extremely confident this is a foundation from the 1700s and everything that points to this being the home of King Pompey is very compelling.”

Tiny aquatic plants called duckweed and their microbes could be engineered to cleanse chemicals from runoff water. Anna O'Brien's research at UNH aims to improve stormwater management using these plant-microbe systems.

When Bonnie Brown, professor and chair of the department of biological sciences, was 24 years old and in graduate school, she drove a van from Virginia to Panamá with her then-boyfriend. Not because she wanted to necessarily, but because she worried about him making the trip alone. He was, she recalls, a terrible driver.

Two professors from the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) at UNH have been awarded the esteemed National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Development (CAREER) award.

Chemistry’s Nate Oldenhuis and mechanical engineering’s Nathan Laxague were selected for the program that supports “early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organizations.”

Kenneth Holmes, senior vice provost for student life at UNH, reflects on the significance of Juneteenth. Also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States, when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas on June 19, 1865 and announced the end of slavery, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.
