Great to see films about Arctic research being nominated for the Oscars. Congrats to Arctic Beringia for their part in this amazing film and walrus conservation.

WERC student-led research shows water treatment in rural Alaska uses 12-26x more energy than the US average which translates to close to 100x more in cost to rural Alaskans. Lets work on solutions! pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.102⦠UA Fairbanks UAF College of Rural & Community Development -CRCD Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation @AKNativeNews




After 2 days of safety and measurements training in Fairbanks, #SnowEx2023 #SnowExAlaska participants split in 2 group - one group stayed in boreal forest; second group drove 360 miles north to Toolik Field Station to get ready for arctic tundra snow measurements INE Research WERC - Water and Environmental Research Center NASA


Dr. Sveta Steufer Sveta Stuefer and a portion of the #SnowEx2023 field crew arrived in Toolik Field Station last night. It was +40F when they arrived! Wonder how often it is that warm on the Slope in early March?

Just in! Our collaborative Environmental Science & Technology Journals article on the potential of UV-equipped photocatalytic membrane reactors for treating micropollutant-contaminated water is now published! pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10ā¦

Inconnu (sheefish) are a vital food source for Indigenous and rural people in Northwest Alaska. How are the fish's movements being impacted by #ClimateChange? Right now, Kevin Fraley and Arctic Beringia are placing satellite tags on the fish to find out.
