Pixels Preserve World's Most Endangered Marine Mammal, the Vaquita
How do you preserve one of the world's rarest animals when so few remain? FAU researchers have created an unprecedented 3D digital archive of the world's smallest porpoise and most endangered marine mammal.
Acoustic Environment May Shape Which Bird Songs Last
An FAU study suggests the environment may help determine which bird songs survive across generations. Songs that travel more clearly through habitats were more likely to be common within populations.
FAU Receives DIU Grant to Transform Underwater Robotic Communication
FAU engineering researchers have received a $1 million AUKUS award to create breakthrough underwater communications technology that could transform maritime security, ocean science and autonomous operations.
Melanoma Cases and Deaths Highest Among Florida's Older Adults
FAU Schmidt College of Medicine researchers found striking melanoma disparities among older Floridians, with men dying at nearly twice the rate of women and non-Hispanic whites facing the highest burden.
More Jobs, More Local Living: Study Redefines the 15-Minute City
By analyzing travel patterns, FAU researchers found that job density is the strongest driver of local travel in "15-minute city" neighborhoods, with more than 86% of internal trips made on foot.
Armed with AI, Study Identifies Prey from Predator Crunching Sounds
FAU researchers have developed an AI-powered acoustic system that detects shell-crushing feeding by eagle rays, enabling real-time monitoring of predator-prey interactions and coastal ecosystem health.
Study Features Global Impact of Journal of Big Data in First Decade
FAU engineering researchers trace the Journal of Big Data's rise as a leading data science and AI publication, stemming from a $600,000 NSF investment that helped launch the journal a decade ago.
FAU Experts Available for Comment on 2026 Hurricane Season
FAU faculty are leading experts on a wide range of hurricane-related issues and are available to discuss topics such as forecasting, flooding, storm impacts, climate resilience and disaster recovery.
Forbidden Friends Become Former Friends After Moms Voice Disapproval
An FAU study of nearly 400 children ages 9 to 14 found that when mothers strongly disapprove of a child's friends, those friendships are more likely to collapse as trust, closeness and support begin to erode.
FAU Engineer Earns U.S. Patent for Human-AI Manufacturing System
An FAU engineering researcher has earned a U.S. patent for a human-AI manufacturing system that lets workers remotely operate equipment using sensors, AI and real-time communication tools.
