The Arctic Report Card is an annual report led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA). The efforts of scientists and climate specialists to create this robust scientific report every year is impressive. The amount of work contributed to this scientific document is extremely important in documenting climate change in the Arctic, which is warming at an alarming rate.
Today's episode is a conversation with Rick Thoman, a climate specialist at IARC’s Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP). Rick is a contributor and editor of the Arctic Report Card and was also awarded NOAA Distinguished Career Award for Professional Achievement in 2020. Rick was honored after a 30 plus year career with the National Weather Service for continued efforts to improve climate services in Alaska and for outstanding outreach efforts working with the Alaska Native community.
Rick discusses the greening tundra, the melting sea ice and the adaptability of the indigenous people and how helpful their generational observations are on the changing landscape of the North.
The Report Card is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, teachers, students, decision-makers and the general public interested in the Arctic environment and science. It is encouraged that the Report Card to be utilized and studied, as the scientific community has created it to be an easily read report for the general population to better understand the complexities of the warming Arctic.

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum has grown into one of the nation's most popular maritime museums with an evolving floor of exhibits, virtual fishing, maritime history, a lighthouse lens, and world renowned speakers in it's in-house theater.
Santa Barbara's George Writer has devoted a tremendous amount of time in the development of many of these attractions, including the Honda Tragedy Exhibit. The Honda Tragedy was the worst peacetime maritime disaster in the history of the US Navy. Lt. Commander Leslie Bratton, George's grandfather, played a significant role in diverting one of the US Navy destroyer ships from hitting the rocks of Pt. Conception on September 8th, 1923. Lt. Commander Bratton's destroyer, The Stoddard, was involved in the rescue along with other ships. Several hundred sailors were in the water and miraculously, only 23 sailors perished. The book, "The Tragedy of Honda", written by Admiral Charles Lockwood and Colonial Hans Christian Adamson, covers the remarkable story with detail.
Listen to more details of George's love of sailing, his passion for maritime history, his commitment to serving his community, as well as the Honda Tragedy in this 30 minute episode.
George is still an active sailor and resides in Santa Barbara with his wife, Judy, of 57 years.
This interview was conducted by Katie Writer, one of George's children who is also the youngest of five.

Springtime in Alaska comes alive with people celebrating the return of the sunshine and lots of outdoor sports, including dog mushing. On March 7th, 46 dog teams departed Deshka Landing near Willow, Alaska and headed for the first checkpoint of Skwentna. As a flying reporter, my daughter and I headed out from Talkeetna, Alaska and flew to a small airstrip of Skwentna to look for the first dog teams. While we arrived a bit early to see the teams, our day was shaped by good Alaska fun of meeting folks off the road system and enjoying a burger and wings from the Skwentna Roadhouse.
Dallas Seavey won this year's race in a mere 7 days, 14 hours, and 8 minutes.
