SIPERG is very excited to share our work in Northern Norway with the scientific community. Congratulations to Ph.D. Candidate Maddie Mette on her first paper! The publication, titled “Linking large-scale climate variability with Arctica islandica shell growth and geochemistry in northern Norway,” will be published in the journal Limnology and Oceanography in early 2016. The … Continue reading New SIPERG Publication!
A mid-week check in from SIPERG here. Weather has been not great during our time so far (windy/chilly). This is typical for Ingøya – in previous years we got really lucky with excellent weather. Hopefully you have been keeping up with Dan Frost’s blog (frostinthearctic.com) – but here we give a quick update on today’s … Continue reading “Incremental” Success
SIPERG is in Norway! NSF, “Collaborative research: Exploring the role of oceanic and atmospheric forcing on Arctic marine climate from newly developed annual shell based records in coastal Norway.” Al Wanamaker and Maddie Mette (Iowa State University) have arrived at Ingøya and are eager to get working. Michael Carroll (Akvaplan-niva, Norway), Mike Retelle (Bates College, … Continue reading Arctic fieldwork begins

Her work was titled “Developing a decadal-scale stalagmite record of hydroclimate and atmospheric variability for western Iberia (Portugal) during the Late Holocene.” Diana will be continuing this work in … Continue reading Congratulations Diana Thatcher on completing a Master’s Degree!
Preparations are underway for our next sampling trip at the end of May! Joining SIPERG’s Al Wanamaker and Maddie Mette in the field are Will Ambrose, Michael Retelle, Michael Carroll, Julie Retelle, and two undergraduate students Sam Mark and Julia Savage.
