The first significant snowfall of the season blanketed Kent State's campuses last week.

Increased activity in the sun's solar winds and the earth's magnetic field has produced appearances by the northern lights  in regions where they are not typically visible - like the skies above the Kent Campus. A Kent State photographer captured spectacular images of the display. 

A brief preview of spring-like weather inspired Golden Flashes to venture outdoors. 

Research into the air masses that drive changes in our day-to-day weather has been limited by land-based and regional studies, leaving wide gaps in our understanding of these impactful phenomena. A new paper by a Kent State University geographer has just filled in most of those gaps.
