“Duke is unusual in having great Schools of Medicine, Environment, Public Policy, and Engineering, as well as a Global Health Institute, all doing work in the area of air pollution and health."

Sixteen years after the restoration of Upper Sandy Creek began, hundreds of species, some rare, now call the once-heavily eroded and degraded stream home, and nitrogen pollution flowing off Duke’s campus into downstream waters has been slashed by 75%.

The Duke Aquafarm is Duke’s other “campus farm,” where students grow oysters instead of produce and learn how the tasty bivalves could help take a bite out of coastal pollution.

A major United Nations report will declare that slashing emissions of methane, the main component of natural gas, is far more vital than previously thought.

Very little of today’s world resembles Planet Earth from 500 years ago. In fact, only about 3% of land surfaces might be ecologically intact -- still home to their full range of native species and unblemished by human activity, according to new research.

A surprising amount of infrastructure is obsolete, yet still requires ongoing costs to monitor and maintain.
