There’s a unique perspective gained from the cockpit of a small plane, especially in a place as vast and vulnerable as Alaska. Host Katie Writer pilots these conversations in the Alaska Climate and Aviation Podcast, weaving together two seemingly distinct worlds into a coherent and compelling narrative. From her vantage point in a Super Cub, Katie has witnessed the tangible effects of a warming climate-melting permafrost, shifting wildlife patterns, receding glaciers-and it prompted her to start recording talks with the scientists, pilots, homesteaders, and community members who are navigating these changes daily. This isn't just a technical discussion; it's a collection of human stories about adaptation and resilience. You’ll hear how aviation is crucial for access and research in remote regions, and how families are adjusting their lives and livelihoods. Designed to be accessible for curious minds of all ages, the podcast transforms complex science into relatable adventures, proving that learning and cultivating a sense of wonder are key to facing the future. Each episode connects the dots between the natural world, family life, and the science of flight, offering a thoughtful and surprisingly hopeful audio journey over the Alaskan landscape.
