JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (March 25, 2026) – The water temperature at Otter Lake is measured at 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit during the Memory Encoding Under Cold Stress study. The study, conducted by Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), assesses the effects of cold-water immersion on cognitive function to improve warfighter survivability. NHRC, part of Navy Medicine Research & Development, supports Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter readiness and lethality with research and development that delivers high-value, high-impact solutions to the health challenges U.S. military population faces on the battlefield, at-sea, home and abroad.
