A new research paper by a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame’sEnvironmental Change Initiative (ND-ECI) demonstrates how two cutting-edge technologies can provide a sensitive and real-time solution to screening real-world water samples for invasive species before they get into our country or before they cause significant damage....
DNA from Asian carp species has been found in the waters of Lake Erie, leading scientists to worry that the invasive fish, which are capable of seriously damaging fragile ecosystems, are back in the Great Lakes.

Great Lakes researchers are using new DNA techniques to track down and control the spread of invasive species. The techniques are sort of like what you see on all those CSI television dramas where scientists analyze DNA left at the crime scene and use it to prosecute the culprits....

Sometimes, little things can add up to a lot. In short, that’s the message of a research study on small dams, streams and pollution by Steve Powers, a postdoctoral researcher in the University of Notre Dame’s Environmental Change Initiative (ND-ECI). “Small dams, reservoirs and ponds trap water pollution, which provides an important...

A new study shows immense increases in shipping are likely over the North Pole and Arctic Ocean in the coming years, alerting scientists who study invasive species. “Invasive species are one of those things that once the genie is out of the bottle, it’s hard to put her back in,”...

Dr. David Lodge, director at the Environmental Change Initiative, and Jeanne Gang, principal architect at Studio Gang Architects, are both quoted in this interested article about the Chicago River. Gang visited Notre Dame in February to give a lecture hosted by Notre Dame Architecture and ECI.
Tundra fires are important because they have the potential to switch regions from being climate-cooling – thanks to their reflective white surface – to climate-warming. With this in mind, Adrian Rocha at the University of Notre Dame, US, and colleagues have sought to estimate how the carbon footprint of Alaskan...
