On the Trails: Mud season presents a slate of challenges
The COVID-19 pandemic shares something with mud season on Upper Valley trails: Irresponsible approaches to either can have negative effects on everyone.

The last year has been difficult for everyone. Even in our idyllic corner of the world, we’ve been confined to our homes, isolated from loved ones and tasked to endure additional hardships when going about our daily lives.
I began to view the COVID-19 era as a form of protracted winter and, as every New Englander knows, after winter comes mud season.
The great thaw brings warmer weather and optimism, so it is understandable that many wish to get back to business as usual. But we must continue to be vigilant or else risk worsening the effects of winter.

In 1966, U.S. Army scientists drilled through nearly a mile of ice in northwestern Greenland and pulled up a 15-foot-long core of sediment from the bottom. The sample, abandoned and largely forgotten in a series of freezers for decades, was accidentally rediscovered in 2017. Researchers who later examined it were stunned to find it contained not just the usual sand and rock found under glacial ice, but well-preserved remains of twigs and leaves the first discovery of onetime plant life under this apparently long-frozen part of the world.
In a new study published this week in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists from a dozen institutions say the discovery indicates that most or all of Greenland’s ice melted one or more times within about the last million years, allowing vegetation or even forests to grow. The finding strongly bolsters a 2016 study of bedrock retrieved from the bottom of an even deeper core that indicated the ice had la

From the single falling snowflake to the terrifying power of an avalanche, snow is something that Boise State researchers take pretty seriously. It’s no wonder when one realizes that winter snowfall is responsible for about 70 percent of Boise and Idaho’s water supply. Globally, the world depends upon snowpack and snow melt for everything from hydropower to agriculture production. Snow is an integral part of successful economies, ecology, the environment, and for Boise State, education.
“The Department of Geosciences at Boise State is one of the few places in the world with such a high concentration of snow scientists,” said geosciences Department Chair James McNamara. “In the last few years we have become a leading center of thought on snow in the environment. We have actual snow physicists who work on methods to measure and model snow, as well as snow-focused scientists in geosciences, biology, engineering, and other disci
