Science speaks out! INTERACT bridge the gap between researchers and the public

Science is useless by itself if it doesn’t speak out. INTERACT is doing excellent science, but if it stays within the science community, its science is only of academic interest; communication across sectors is imperative.

Dr. Melissa Ward Jones: Permafrost scientist and geographer

Here we explore Dr. Melissa Ward Jones' research on permafrost systems in the continuous permafrost zone of the Arctic and permafrost-agriculture interactions primarily in the discontinuous permafrost zone of Alaska.

Arctic dipole reversal: Key factor in arctic sea ice trend

New research led by an international team of scientists explains why Arctic Sea ice loss has slowed since 2007. Their findings indicated this was linked to a weather pattern called the Arctic dipole reversal This Phenomenon, Known as 'Atlantification,' Reveals How North Atlantic Waters Impact the Arctic Ocean's Climate.
