Senior Connie Machuca studies corals and anemones to understand how they respond to rising temperatures, acidification and other ocean-related issues linked to climate change.
What USC researchers have uncovered about sea star locomotion could help scientists design simpler decentralized systems for all sorts of devices.
In oceans and lakes across the country, tiny organisms create big problems.
USC researchers have discovered that corals can pass on their reshuffled symbiotic algae, which may help their progeny withstand climate change.
Sharks aren’t just the apex predators we see in movies; they’re complicated, fascinating creatures that Trojans are investigating from many angles.
