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

We had a fabulous time working with middle school students this week! Students helped us build and install sediment sensors on the Tanana River so we can figure out how sediment moves (or doesn't!) underneath river ice. Read the full story here: fresheyesonice.org/ice.../2023/ja…

Seeing glaciers shrink over time is dramatic & visibly apparent. What about how glacial melt/loss affects watershed geochemistry? In her first peer-reviewed lead author paper Tiffany Gatesman addresses this in the Jarvis Creek watershed of Alaska. doi.org/10.1016/j.chem…

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?

#SnowEx2023 Alaska March campaign is successfully completed. A big thank you to our incredible team of 40+ participants for their hard work and dedication in collecting airborne and ground-based snow data in Boreal Forest and #Arctic tundra. NASA #SnowEx Photo by Kelly Elder.

Arctic permafrost regions saw rapid industrialization over the last century. While infrastructure risks from thawing permafrost are known, much less so are contamination risks from industrial legacies at thousands of sites on the verge of permafrost thaw: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

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.

Did you ever wonder how much carbon is stored in the terrestrial ecosystems of Patagonia? We answered this question for the Chilean part by using available data. Download the paper in Austral Ecology for a limited time here: doi.org/10.1111/aec.13…
