Episode Details

Despite losing federal backing under the Trump administration, the Arctic Report Card — a vital climate science staple since 2006 — continues thanks to the American Geophysical Union stepping in to manage it. Led by top researchers from Alaska and Colorado, the team remains steadfast in delivering accessible, unfiltered data on sea ice, permafrost, and wildlife, especially in Alaska. This year’s report, set for December, will include special sections on Indigenous wildfire practices, broader fire trends, and polar bear updates. With federal data sources now compromised, the team is turning to nonprofit platforms and international partners like the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme to keep the science alive — a powerful stand for scientific integrity amid growing cuts to U.S. climate research.
