Arctic Connections

Ruth Varner

Ruth Varner, UNH professor of biogeochemistry, is strengthening her ties to the Arctic; she has been appointed to a yearlong position as a visiting researcher at Stockholm University (SU) in Sweden. This appointment recognizes Varner’s long-term commitment to Arctic research and education, and will provide broader opportunities for her, as well as UNH students and faculty, to connect with scientists, students and Indigenous peoples who are on the front lines of climate change in northern regions.
