climate change in Alaska

My opus on climate change in Alaska is finally out in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner. It looks at four different areas that are already changing or might see big change in the future. It's just a start at that, and also skips completely any talk of what the state is doing or should be doing to respond. So there's stories to come!
You can find the series here.
On another note, I've left the News-Miner after two and a half pretty exciting years and am trying my hand at freelance. The goal is to spend more time writing about climate change, energy, and how Alaskans choose to use their incredible land (i.e., development issues).
But first, I'm going paddling for a few weeks way up north in the Brooks Range. Bears, wolves, grayling with giant sailfins. We're paddling the Noatak, a wild river even by Alaska standards....

Good luck in your new endeavors, Stefan. I came to the blog to get some of your insight on Gov. Palin & climate change.

She seems like an Inhofe-type science denier. It would be great to see a post from someone familiar with the Alaska scene.

I thought she was a strange pick, given McCain's acknowledgement of climate change.

Inhofe is participating in a forum tomorrow night. You going?

Oh, are you even still in town? Or have you joined the team aboard Palin Air?
