Have you been to or seen photos of the Arctic?
It’s unparalleled beauty with magnificent blue glaciers, maybe a whiskered seal moving through its crystal waters or a polar bear trekking across the ice.
But this beautiful region is being challenged with temperatures in the Arctic rising faster than anywhere on Earth. The effects of climate change are seeing the tampering of weather, melting ice, rising sea levels and threatened wildlife.
To help me unpack what’s happening in The Arctic is today’s guest, Dr. Kimberley Miner, who is a climate scientist and program manager at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab. Her research on climate risks have taken her to the planet's extreme environments from the North Pole to Antarctica and Mount Everest.
From rising temperatures, thawing permafrost, wildlife and a core culprit – fossil fuels, Dr. Miner details where the Arctic sits from a climate perspective and how we can help protect it.
I hope you enjoy the episode.
You can learn more and connect with Dr. Miner on her website.
