We are thrilled to share that Dr. Sara Morris has been selected as the next Executive Director for @ShoalsMarineLab! Sara has deep ties to the island, incl. as longtime director for its biannual bird banding station. Congrats, Sara! unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/11/sho…

One thing that makes New Hampshire special is that we truly get to enjoy all four seasons, but those seasons may be changing in a warming world. We spoke to @AlixContosta from @UNHEOS about the changes they've researched so far. wmur.com/article/new-hampshi… #NHwx #WMUR

In a new @NatureComms study, Lynn Kistler (Director for our Space Sci. Center) finds that the Earth's ionosphere plays a major role in creating space storms -- the events that can disrupt our technology & power grids. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/10/ear… 📸: NASA/GSFC/TRACE

New research from our @unhESRC ⤵️🌎
It's a climate two-fer: In a new @PNASNews study, researchers from @UNHEOS @COLSA_UNH found that a potential U.S. climate policy could lead to significant decline in carbon emissions AND reduce the Gulf of Mexico’s dead zone by 3-4% per year. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/10/add…

Love these charismatic little critters. 🐟
On this #NationalAquacultureWeek, meet an unsung hero of finfish aquaculture: the #lumpfish. @unhmarine and @NHSeaGrant researchers are investigating whether lumpfish may be a sustainable way to manage the sea lice on farmed #salmon. More: unh.edu/unhtoday/2021/07/res…

#SciComm can help create more inclusive spaces w/in STEM fields to help marginalized students thrive; workshops like ReclaimingSTEM, led by Evelyn Valdez-Ward, @TaxpayerScience, & colleagues, provide important trainings and spaces. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/09/gra… 📸 : @ReclaimingSTEMI

There's an unusually large brown algal bloom in the Gulf of Maine -- it's not known to be harmful, but scientists from our Ocean Process Analysis Lab & @COLSA_UNH, along w/ regional partners, are monitoring for marine life impacts. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/08/res… 📸: Joe Vallino/@WHOI

ICYMI: Are we overly reliant on plants to help mitigate climate change? New research from @unhESRC shows that plants' ability to take up increasing amounts of carbon stalled around 2001.
Plants 🌿 aren't using water as efficiently as previously assumed, new research from @unheos @GlobalEcolUNH found. Climate change is both the culprit and the effect. New in @ScienceMagazine. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/08/cli…

Creating instruments for a @NASA mission that will explore our solar “neighborhood” is careful work. This #ResearchSnapshot captures @UNHEOS researchers working in a clean room under ultraviolet light to build a component for the IMAP mission. unh.me/3qrfX8O #UNHSciFri

Space storms can wreak havoc on our power grids & satellite technology. New research from @mike_coughlan & @plasmaphysmom taps into AI to help predict impacts to Earth's mid-latitudes -- including #NH. unh.edu/unhtoday/2023/08/unh… 📸 : NASA/DSO @UNH_CEPS @unhresearchnews @UofNH

Proof that it did, in fact, stop raining for once this month -- long enough for our researchers to conduct some field work. 🌱👏🏻

What an honor to be able to show @SenatorShaheen and @SenBillNelson around our space science labs and introduce them to our amazing students & faculty! We are grateful to have had that opportunity. ☀️🚀👩🏻‍🚀
Welcome to NH, @SenBillNelson! Excited Administrator Nelson could visit @UofNH to see the talent & exceptionalism of students & faculty up close who are helping to develop the equipment necessary to further our understanding of the ☀️ and how it engages with 🌎 & the solar system. NH is a small state but we punch above our weight when it comes to the impact we have on the nation and world.
