When I first began studying climate change a decade ago, I was told that the front lines of those changes were in the Arctic. The region was undergoing an “unprecedented transition in human history” and experiencing some of the most dramatic impacts on the planet. And so, I became an Arctic researcher, traveling across the region to understand the depth of what stood to be lost – and advocate for equitable, courageous action to avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis.

(USA/Arctic) The Department of the Air Force is embarking on two ventures with sweeping implications for the Arctic region

Lt. Gen. Bill Liquori and Iris Ferguson write for Defense News: Few things are easy in Utqiagvik, Alaska. Sandbag barriers hold back the tide of the rising Arctic Ocean, milk costs $10 a gallon, and during the winter months, 24 hours of darkness cloak this northernmost city in the United States. The 4,000 residents of this remote town struggle with many things most Americans take for granted, including affordable communications access. In fact, for many rural Alaska residents — some 30 percent of the state’s population — the ability to access modern services like telemedicine and remote education has never been a possibility.
