New Hampshire’s blue economy is making a splash, thanks to strong partnerships between research and industry, writes Ted Curley, executive vice president and general manager of Klein Marine Systems, in New Hampshire Business Review.

Klein has deepened its collaboration with UNH’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping / Joint Hydrographic Center by establishing the Klein Sonar Innovation Lab at the John Olson Advanced Manufacturing Center. There, undergraduate and postgraduate students work shoulder-to-shoulder with seasoned engineers on the same real-world manufacturing challenges they will face after graduation.

“The University of New Hampshire and the CCOM Joint Hydrographic Center are ideal partners for Klein Marine Systems. It’s a full-circle moment for me, from being a student here nearly 40 years ago to becoming an industry partner with a university that has grown into a world leader in maritime and oceanographic research,” Curley says. “With key resources such as access to research vessels, test facilities and local engineering talent, we believe the next generations of Klein sonars will be developed right here at our Sonar Innovation Lab.”

A message for New Hampshire parents: Your high schooler can earn real college credit before they graduate. Our Early College programs let students take college courses at a fraction of the cost, get a head start on a degree, and find out what they want to focus on in college a lot sooner.

As the population of ticks — and the diseases they carry — expands in New Hampshire, UNH has been tapped to lead an ambitious statewide initiative to investigate how these parasites survive, spread, and transmit disease. Funded with $8 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF), the project will bring together researchers, students, and community partners from UNH, Keene State College, Plymouth State University, state agencies, and industry collaborators to study the ecology and evolution of ticks across New Hampshire.

The initiative, called EMBEDDEd-NH, comes at a critical time: New Hampshire consistently ranks among states with the highest in incidence of Lyme disease in the nation.

“Ticks are an issue that touches nearly every community in New Hampshire,” says Dr. David Needle, clinical professor of molecular, cellular and biomedical Sciences and senior veterinary pathologist of the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at UNH, who is leading the initiative. “By combining cutting-edge science with statewide collaboration and education, we have an opportunity to build knowledge that benefits both our state and the broader scientific community.”

Even as the cyclospora outbreak grabs headlines (and digestive systems), no New Hampshire farm has been linked to the outbreak. That’s a credit, says UNH Extension state specialist Wendy Johnacheck, to the work that farms across the state have done to stay up-to-date with best practices around water management and use, often with help and guidance from Extension.

That support ranges from online resources to on-farm visits to helping farmers comply with practices defined by the Food Safety Modernization Act, including regular inspections and maintenance of agricultural water systems and testing for E. coli.

Johnacheck adds that when it comes to water safety, many farmers are ahead of the game by using drip irrigation, which for the most part doesn’t contact the part of the plant we eat.

Helping New Hampshire farmers keep our local food supply safe is one more way UNH Works for New Hampshire!
