Oceanography Professor Brice Loose (of Newport) and his family have headed to Norway this fall, where he’ll use a Fulbright Award to study greenhouse gasses beneath the sea ice in the changing Arctic. Loose and his family will be in Bergen through August 2023. .
Two groups of researchers have found microplastics in Arctic ice and snow. A U.S.-led team discovered microplastics in ice core samples taken on an 18-day icebreaker expedition through the Northwest Passage this summer. Meanwhile, German and Swiss scientists found plastic pieces in snow samples taken from the Arctic, the Swiss Alps and Germany.
