And who better to ask for tips on how to stay warm during the winter than someone who works outside in the Arctic?聽Cheristy Jones has spent a total of 12 months doing fieldwork in Greenland, Alaska, and northern Sweden during her Ph.D. at 91制片厂. Her research looks at greenhouse gasses in Arctic landscapes and waterways, specifically carbon dioxide and methane. 鈥淚 study water quality in streams and lakes, so really trying to understand what's in the water and how that might change in the future,鈥� she says. That makes Jones something of an expert on how to layer up to fend off frigid temperatures and avoid getting chilly in wet conditions.

Now, a report co-edited by a 91制片厂 scientist identifies where current-day ocean and coastal acidification monitoring efforts are falling short and recommends actions designed to expand the regional understanding of this phenomenon and its implications. The 2025 Ocean and Coastal Acidification Monitoring Priorities report provides a menu of options ranging from those that are relatively easy to implement all the way up to larger-scale efforts that may take years 鈥� and a search for funding sources 鈥� to accomplish.

Now, a study co-authored by a 91制片厂 researcher indicates that more frequent coastal storms and an uptick in dredging and bottom-trawling fishing in the coastal shelves are resuspending the mercury that has long been trapped in those sediments, bringing it back up into the marine water column. This is a major shift, scientists say, where coastal shelves might no longer serve as mercury 鈥渟inks鈥� 鈥� a place where more of it is stored than released 鈥� and are now becoming a major source of the legacy mercury that was originally released into the environment decades or even a century ago. 91制片厂 Affiliate Research Professor Tom Bianchi (left)... ]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2025 08:00 -0500 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2025/11/mercury-stored-coastal-sediments-making-comeback /unhtoday/2025/10/archaeology-dig-showcases-power-community-connections In partnership with a landowner in nearby Madbury, 91制片厂 Professor Meghan Howey and her colleagues were able to identify the site of a 1701 garrison known as the Meserve Garrison, completing a dig at the site that contained not only the foundation but some additional artifacts from the colonial period. ]]> Tue, 14 Oct 2025 10:00 -0400 Keith Testa /unhtoday/2025/10/archaeology-dig-showcases-power-community-connections /unhtoday/2025/09/two-unh-space-weather-instruments-blast-toward-sun After years in the making, two 91制片厂 space weather instruments have blasted off toward the sun to study its influence on our solar system and monitor space weather, which can impact satellite communications and power grids on Earth. 聽 VIDEO: LEARN MORE Watch聽Nathan Schwadron describe how IMAP will help us understand our solar system. ]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2025 08:00 -0400 Rebecca Irelan /unhtoday/2025/09/two-unh-space-weather-instruments-blast-toward-sun /unhtoday/2025/09/nasas-imap-launch-feature-instrument-designed-and-built-unh When聽NASA鈥檚 IMAP聽(Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) spacecraft launches later this month (earliest launch date is Sept. 23) to explore the boundary of the magnetic bubble protecting our solar system, it will carry an instrument designed and built at 91制片厂.
