Del Vecchio in Arctic

Caption

Dartmouth researchers set out to understand why Arctic watersheds tend to have less river area than watersheds in warmer climates. First author Joanmarie Del Vecchio (pictured) conceived of the study while conducting fieldwork in Alaska after she hiked uphill from her riverside worksite and beheld a vista of sheer mountain slopes unbroken by rivers or streams.
