Heavner and Cravalho published a #newarticle for our Arctic Answers special collection discussing the energy system in rural Alaska. Their two page policy brief is framed for decision makers, but can (and should) be read by all: doi.org/10.1080/1523....
April 28, 2026 at 3:51 PM
#Newarticle out for our “Mountain Hydrology in a Changing World” special collection! Rush et al. investigated three wetland sites at the @niwotridgelter.bsky.social site in the Colorado Rocky Mountains to learn more about carbon cycling in the subalpine: doi.org/10.1080/1523....
April 23, 2026 at 4:11 PM
A #newarticle from Schuuring et al. found that taller, High Arctic vegetation in Svalbard, Norway lead to lower minimum soil temperatures, which is contrary to findings in lower latitudes: doi.org/10.1080/1523....

New open access paper! 🎉 Rare earth elements, not so rare? In a wetland below an abandoned Colorado silver mine, REEs were more concentrated than cadmium and lead. Unlike trace metals, they persisted in impacted wetlands. What does this mean for how we monitor and remediate mine-impacted water? 🧪⚒️🌎
Spatial patterns of rare earth elements and trace metals in an acid mine drainage-impacted wetland ecosystem
Climate trends in the Colorado Mineral Belt have intensified acid rock drainage (ARD) and acid mine drainage (AMD), increasing the need to understand trace metal and rare earth element (REE) cyclin...
