\"snopackpic\"<\/a>This winter, teams of Maine high school students trudged through harsh conditions to measure snow depths at different sites around the state. It wasn\u2019t a typical science class exercise. The students and their teachers were engaged in serious research, scientific inquiries that could have real impact in the state.<\/p>\n

Guided by their teachers, the students from Old Town High School and Bangor High School studied the nature of snowpack, snowfall and timing of snowmelt in Maine\u2019s various climate zones.<\/p>\n

The data are of real value to scientists since they have no snow depth\/snowmelt information for large swaths of the state.\u00a0Funding \u00a0for this project was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Researchers from \u00a0the Senator George J. Mitchell Center at 91¸£Àû, 91¸£Àû\u2019s Climate Change Institute and the Schoodic Education and Research Center (SERC) partnered on the study. Students presented early results of their fieldwork on May 8 at the Acadia Learning Student Research Symposium held at the Mitchell Center.\u00a0See more on this story…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
