- UNH is ranked in the top five universities in publication impact in geoscience and forestry.
- UNH scientists and students have been involved in space instrument design and data analysis for more than 30 space missions over the past 60+ years. More than 20 NASA satellites have launched with UNH-designed and -built instruments.
- UNH ranks second among North American institutions in scholarly productivity in ecology.
- EOS is among the top-ranked U.S. university centers in NASA funding and is a NASA "Center of Excellence" in solar-terrestrial theory; UNH is among the top three universities in the nation for research in space plasma physics.
- UNH's School of Marine Science and Ocean Engineering ranks in the top 10 in competitively funded marine-related research.
- Space science research at UNH is ranked fifth nationally in publication impact by the Journal of Geophysical Research.
- UNH's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) is one of only two national centers for ocean mapping and education. CCOM offers Category A Certification by the International Federation of Surveyors / International Hydrographic Organization / International Cartographic Association Advisory Board by CCOM.
- Marine-related research activities bring $25 million annually into the university, comprising nearly a quarter of UNH's research portfolio. Currently, nearly 70 faculty members from 14 departments in three colleges teach marine and ocean engineering-related courses to 300 undergraduate and 100 graduate students.
- 1,850 undergraduates participate in UNH's Undergraduate Research Conference, making it the nation's largest.

Earth Systems
UNH Earth systems scientists study the Earth as an integrative system, crossing traditional academic boundaries and reaching all corners of the globe. Our scientists and students study the Earth's ecosystems, atmosphere, water, and ice using field measurements, remote sensing, and both small- and large-scale mathematical models. More info (pdf)...
Earth and the Environment
Earth scientists in the UNH College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (CEPS) aim to improve our understanding of the Earth, and the processes that affect it, through excellence in teaching, research, and service.
Undergraduate and graduate degrees encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines.

Ocean Engineering
Ocean Engineering at UNH includes hands-on
opportunities for research in ocean renewable energy,
remotely operated vehicles, ocean mapping, ocean acoustics, and coastal processes.
Lab equipment includes a 20-foot deep engineering tank, and a 100-foot wave/tow
tank.

Oceanography
Oceanographic research at UNH includes physical, chemical, geological, and biological oceanography. The Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping/Joint Hydrographic Center (CCOM/JHC) develops and evaluates a wide range of state-of-the-art hydrographic and ocean mapping technologies. UNH maintains a 50-ft.
research vessel (R/V Gulf Challenger) and supports the interdisciplinary School of Marine Science & Ocean Engineering. More info (pdf)...
Ocean Mapping
The Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM) develops tools and offers training to help hydrographic organizations meet the challenges posed by a rapid transition from the sparse depth measurements of traditional sounding techniques (lead lines and single-beam sonars) to the massive amounts of data now collected by new multibeam echo sounders, phase differencing sonars, and bathymetric lidar systems.
