Description: Researchers from many disciplines have long looked to the Arctic for signs of climate change and an understanding of the dynamic interrelationship of changes in local ecosystems and global change. As the complexity of these relationships has become clearer, this research has become increasingly interdisciplinary. Three prominent members of the Arctic research community discuss the changing nature of both the research and the researchers.
Speaker(s):
Dr. Patricia Cochran, executive director, Alaska Native Science Commission
Robert Hannon, moderator, KUAC-TV
Mathew Sturm, snow scientist, U.S. Army Cold Regions
Terry Chapin, ecologist, Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks
