<title>Alaskan Ice Road Water Supplies Augmented by Snow Barriers</title>
<link>http://www.netl.doe.gov/publications/press/2013/130306_alaskan_ice.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[In a project supported and managed by the Office of Fossil Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks have demonstrated that the use of artificial barriers—snow fences—can significantly increase the amount of fresh water supplies in Arctic lakes at a fraction of the cost of bringing in water from nearby lakes. The results promise to enhance environmentally sound development of Alaska’s natural resources, lowering the costs of building ice roads used for exploring for oil and natural gas in Alaska. They could also be used to help augment fresh water supplies at remote villages.  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If hearing the words “high school” and “science” in the same sentence brings to mind a grim physics final or a grueling afternoon alone with your chemistry test tube, you might be surprised to learn that thousands of kids across the nation participate in science as a team sport. And if the word “sport” doesn’t seem to fit with “science,” then you’d be even more surprised to learn that the U.S. Department of Energy annually hosts a National Science Bowl (NSB)—DOE’s academic Super Bowl for the country’s brightest and most dedicated high school and middle school math & science scholars. ]]></description>
