Clarkson University Professor Works to Understand Arctic Sea Ice and Ocean Waves Potsdam, NY, Dec. 22, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Hayley Shen a professor emeritus of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Clarkson, and her international research team, are trying to predict how the changes in the Earth’s climate may affect the ice conditions in the Arctic by using computational modelling.  “Changes to Arctic ice coverage are a key indicator of our changing climate, and the impacts of reduced ice cover are still being identified,” Shen said. “Taking measurements in the Arctic is cha...

Researchers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) are venturing this month to the North Pole to deploy instruments that will make year-round observations of the water beneath the Arctic ice cap. Scientists will investigate how the waters in the upper layers of the Arctic Ocean—which insulate surface ice from warmer, deeper waters—are changing from season to season and year to year as global climate fluctuates. The Arctic expedition is part of a multi-year, multi-institutional program to establish a real-time, autonomous Arctic Observing Network. The WHOI researchers will wo...

This calculation is one of scores of graphs and formula in "Controling Blowing and Drifting Snow with Snow Fences" This is my most popular snow-related piece, which first ran in 2016. Today’s very fine snowstorm over the whole Northeast means it’s time for a rerun! I have a fairly long driveway next to an open field, and at least once every winter, snow drifts across it to the point where things get dicey without all-wheel drive. For two decades, I have talked about setting up a snow fence to keep out the drifts, but I’ve never gotten around to it. Which is a good thing, because I would...

For current and former military members and their families. get advice from the people who share your values. for our free usaa retirement guide, call 877-242-usaa. after meeting with both parties this week, the president left washington today. he traveled to a national science and engineering laboratory just outside of chicago to push his clean energy agenda and urge congress to fund research into emerging technologies that will power the next generation of american cars. nbc's mike viqueira joins us live from the capitol. mike, i'm not going to ask you where you've been for a while. a numb...
