Thanks to Judy and all associated with the Sprague Marsh research for hosting us as part of the 2014 reunion activities. It makes us feel more connected with research and study at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. I was in Dr. Chute’s ecology class in what I believe was the first year of this then-new discipline. Doing winter research in the frozen pond at his house was our first field assignment. All I recall is measuring turbidity and temperature gradients.

So glad to hear that permanent markers are being set, and ongoing research is being conducted, year-to-year, about the changes the marsh experiences! No better place to do it–Sprague River Salt Marsh is protected from the direct influence of ocean impact by a barrier dune forest, so measurements should be more accurate than those in places that bear the brunt of incidental storm fury. This is a seminal research site.
Just one more reason why the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½-Morse Mountain Conservation Area, and its unique characteristics, are so important to significant current climate studies–and to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, by association!
