Jenna Whiting is studying marketing and graphic design at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD). Outside of class, she serves as the chief marketing officer and treasurer for Bulldog Rocketry, a student club that builds rockets and competes in an international competition each year. She also has an internship with Lake Superior Helicopters where she manages social media and website design. “I guess I just like things in the air,” she said. Whiting is most proud of the way she overcame health issues in her life, including scoliosis and a heart transplant. Whether it’s from 1,000 feet above Duluth or through her artistic eye for design, Whiting sees things from a different perspective.Read more about Jenna's story: https://news.d.umn.edu/articles/diffe...

- 0:52What happens when you drop a steel wedge filled with dry ice into a lake?Researchers at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) are studying lake sediment to reconstruct long-term climate and flood histories in the region. Using a technique called freeze coring, they extract intact layers of mud, called varves, from the bottom of lakes. These varves form annually and preserve chemical and physical clues about rainfall and weather conditions dating back hundreds to thousands of years. This method enables scientists to analyze extreme precipitation trends far beyond modern data limits. The findings could improve flood modeling and guide infrastructure decisions.Read more about this impactful research: https://news.d.umn.edu/articles/flood-history

These varves form annually and preserve chemical clues about rainfall and weather conditions dating back hundreds to thousands of years. Traditional climate records only span a few decades, but this method enables scientists to analyze extreme precipitation trends far beyond modern data limits.
