UNH Students to Participate in International Environmental Competition: Students from UNH will be among the 31 teams from across the U.S. and Canada at the 19th Annual Environmental Design Contest April 5-8 at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Their task will be to convert wind energy into mechanical energy for water treatment.

The Wire-UNH Researchers Seek Regional, Renewable Solutions: A team of engineering students and professor recently tested a tide turbine in the Great Bay estuary. They moored off the old General Sullivan Bridge between Newington and Dover, led by Martin Wosnik, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering.

Renovated UNH Earth Science Building to be Greener, Leaner The renovation of James Hall, which is currently well underway, will create the university’s first bonafide green building. UNH has registered the building's construction with the U.S. Green Building Council to seek Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED certification. LEED is a rating system used to measure projects on their efficiency and sustainability practices.e

UNH Mapping Experts Reveal Arctic's Riches BOSTON (WBZ) ― Some New England scientists have just returned from a mission to the arctic where they were mapping the region's seafloor.

It was a mission that could have a big impact on our future.

"We know much more about the moon and several other planets than we do about the bottom of the Arctic Ocean," said mapping expert Larry Mayer of the University of New Hampshire.

Mayer is helping to change that along with his University of New Hampshire team that has been mapping the shape of the Arctic Sea floor.

Alaska Fish may Set Off Geopolitical Dispute Andrew Rosenberg, former deputy director of the National Marine Fisheries Service and current UNH professor, expects the pollock to be a test case in an emerging pattern to fish driven by climate change across jurisdictional boundaries. Alaskan pollock are becoming Russian pollock, swimming across an international boundary in search of food and setting off what could become a geopolitical dispute. (Kenneth Weiss, Los Angeles Times)
