UMaine alumnus Nick Foukal was featured in an article in the New York Times about a two-week research expedition he led. Foukal guided a team working in Greenland’s icy coastal waters to install deep-ocean instruments that track changes in temperature, salinity and currents. Foukal said the scarcity of data from this remote region and the urgency of monitoring how fresh water from the Arctic may be influencing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a key climate system.
