Aquatic 'Dead Zones' Contributing to Climate Change
Staff quoted: Lou Codispoti
Cambridge, Md.–The increased frequency and intensity of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" along the world's coasts can negatively impact environmental conditions in far more than just local waters. In the March 12 edition of the journal Science, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science oceanographer Dr. Lou Codispoti explains that the increased amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) produced in low-oxygen (hypoxic) waters can elevate concentrations in the atmosphere, further exacerbating the impacts of global warming and contributing to ozone "holes" that cause an increase in our exposure to harmful UV radiation.

Autonomous nutrient monitoring business grows out of Horn Point research
Staff quoted: Vince Kelly, Lou Codispoti, Elizabeth Spahr
CAMBRIDGE – Vince Kelly did not plan to start his own business. He was studying to become an environmental scientist and expected to get a job as a researcher at a state or federal government agency. His research as a graduate student at Old Dominion University in Norfolk and later and more importantly his work as a research assistant at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, led him down a different path.
