How Frozen Ground Controls Water in a Warming World - Eos Frozen ground acts like a hidden underground dam. As it thaws, water pathways shift, changing rivers, wetlands, ecosystems, and infrastructure across cold regions.

A new article in Reviews of Geophysics explores recent advances in the physics, observation, and modeling of frozen soil hydrology. 🌐

Ever wondered how passive acoustic monitoring can give us a better understanding of whales? 🐋 Angela Szescirorka's research on bowhead whales in the Arctic does just that! Read more about it in the latest dataset highlight 🔗 https://arcticdata.io/all/news/2026/03/szesciorka/

Collaborative research works best when ideas, tools, and frameworks can be shared and adapted across different communities. The “forking mindset” offers a good way to think about how open science can be implemented across various research communities.

The winter 2026 NNA REU took place at the Alaska Forum. Seven students from across Alaska presented research on mariculture in Prince William Sound, water temperature impacts on fish & subsistence, and community storytelling. Our next cohort will take place during our annual meeting in September.
