As a high school student, Jose Solorzano was split between his interests in land and marine science. But the summer before his senior year, he took a field course in coral reef ecology that intrigued him. Wanting to learn more about the oceans, he decided to attend the University of Miami to study at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric and Earth Science. Last summer, Solorzano had another pivotal experience as a Hollings Scholar when he spent 10 weeks in Honolulu, Hawaii, at a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) laboratory, studying how datasets are detecting changes in dissolved oxygen throughout the North Pacific. He tracked how oxygen distribution storage is changing over time and impacting the habitat of species such as bigeye tuna. Those experiences helped confirm his interest in becoming an ocean scientist. “It’s been life changing,” said Solorzano, now a senior studying oceanography. “There’s so much I’ve learned that I’ve already used.” As Solorzano wraps up his Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship, five more Rosenstiel School students have been selected for NOAA’s prestigious program for undergraduates interested in the earth sciences. Over the past five years, several students from the University have received the honor, so Mohamed...

The Marine Mammal Protection Act is under grave threat – and we need your help to save it.

Phosphonates are an important component of dissolved organic phosphorus in the ocean. They can serve as a potential phosphorus source when phosphate, which is directly bioavailable to phytoplankton, is scarce in marine environments. While eukaryotic phytoplankton typically lack the capacity to utilize phosphonates, certain algal-associated bacteria possess the ability to degrade these compounds. However, no specific strains have been thoroughly examined. Here, we report the discovery of a bacte…
