Barrier islands protect coastal communities and infrastructure — so what happens if they disappear?

Former Texas A&M cadet James W. Perkins ’13 is living his childhood dream as a member of the Navy's elite flight squadron.

A recent underwater gas pipeline leak led to a fire in the Gulf of Mexico. Texas A&M researchers are looking to prevent future subsea pipeline failures.

A Texas A&M team has developed a concept that could decrease the cost and time it takes to install offshore wind turbines.

Texas A&M research into corrosion-resistant materials could help engineers construct safer structures in the future.

Researchers from Texas A&M and the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences discovered that sea levels are rising at rates that are close to a tipping point for widespread marsh drowning.

Texas A&M researchers are developing an ocean renewable energy station that could combine wind, wave, current and solar energy methods on a floating offshore platform.

The work of Texas A&M researchers is helping engineers better assess the vulnerability of coastal landscapes.

Texas A&M researchers are fighting underwater deformation with enhanced metals.

Climate change and rising sea levels are breaking down the ecosystems that protect coastal communities. Texas A&M researchers have found their threshold for recovery is lower than previously thought.
