Big Picture Science: Amazing Arctic
REPEAT
What’s it like
to live on a block of ice, especially when it thaws? An environment writer
shares his forty-year experience in the Arctic, including the time a paddling
polar bear tracked him on a river. He describes the stunning beauty of
America’s last truly wild place and the dramatic changes to the landscape he
recently witnessed. Recent research has backed up his eyewitness accounts, as
an arctic scientist presents the latest data collected from a part of world
warming four times faster than the rest of the planet.
Guests:
- Jon Waterman – Author of Into the Thaw: Witnessing Wonder Amid the Arctic Climate Crisis
- Twila Moon – Deputy Lead Scientist and Science Communication Liaison at the National Snow and Ice Data Center
