What Enters the Arctic Ocean Doesn’t Stay in the Arctic Ocean
Climate warming accelerates the journey of river waters across the polar ocean
Author: Samantha Glass
I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Connecticut–Avery Point studying the marine carbonate system in the Arctic Ocean. My research focuses on biogeochemical changes occurring within sea ice as the Arctic continues to warm. Outside of my research, I enjoy hiking, running, aerial gymnastics, paddleboarding, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
