Adapting to Life in the New Arctic
The arctic is a completely different place, says marine scientist.
Rock Snot Genomics
University of Texas researchers use advanced sequencing and TACC's Ranger supercomputer to uncover origin of common algae.
Switching to a Power Stroke Enables a Tiny But Important Marine Crustacean to Survive
Olympic swimmers aren’t the only ones who change their strokes to escape competitors. To escape from the jaws and claws of predators in cold, viscous water, marine copepods switch from a wave-like swimming stroke to big power strokes, a behavior that has now been revealed thanks to 3-D high-speed digital holography.

Marine Scientists Awarded Grant to Study Ciguatera Fish Poisoning
Marine scientist Deana Erdner is part of an international team of researchers awarded an anticipated five-year, $4 million grant to study the causes of ciguatera fish poisoning, the most common form of algal toxin-induced seafood poisoning in the world.
Marine Scientists Awarded $5.6 Million for Study of Critical Arctic Environment
The grant will allow for extensive study of the Hanna Shoal area in the Chukchi Sea, an area valued highly by the oil industry for offshore drilling.
Captive Breeding Could Transform the Saltwater Aquarium Trade and Save Coral Reefs, Marine Biologists Say
Marine biologists at The University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute are developing means to efficiently breed saltwater aquarium fish, seahorses, plankton and invertebrates in captivity in order to preserve the biologically rich ecosystems of the world's coral reefs.
