Monitoring mixing dynamics in Toolik Lake, Alaska
Toolik Lake is 130 miles south of Prudhoe Bay in northern Alaska. It is one of the main monitoring sites of the Arctic Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project and a site for studies led by Sally MacIntyre of the University of California investigating the linkages between hydrodynamics and ecosystem function. Both studies are funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. It is classified as a dimictic lake, meaning a lake that undergoes two mixing periods—one in the spring and one in the fall. ... |

Environmental impact in 3 numbers
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the environmental impact of a molecule could be summed up in a few numbers? Such a dream is, of course, impossible, but there is one approach that goes a long way towards this dream. It’s not a new approach, and it is in wide use across a large range of chemical applications, but only recently have the tools become available for it to be applied routinely to a large range of interlocking environmental issues. Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP) can capture a chemical ... |
