CONCORD (AP) – New Hampshire’s two senators say the U.S. Senate has approved $350,000 in federal funding for a study on how climate conditions impact alpine areas in the White Mountain National Forest.

The Appalachian Mountain Club, the Mount Washington Observatory and Plymouth State University are working together on the high altitude air study.

Sens. Judd Gregg and Jeanne Shaheen say the funding would allow the project to complete its final phase of its research which will provide critical information to policy makers and the public on climate change and air pollution.
