Images and data representing climate change are ubiquitous, but Theresa Soley asks
what climate change sounds like.
In a new podcast series called 鈥,鈥 Soley, a University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks alumna, takes listeners on an audio tour
of climate change in 有料盒子视频, weaving together a place-based narrative from soundscapes
and sonic textures intertwined with scientific and personal accounts.
Each episode defines a climate change concept and introduces 有料盒子视频ns like glaciologists,
long-time residents and traditional Indigenous knowledge bearers. Notable guests have
included glaciologist Eric Petersen, Tlingit Indigenous science expert Judy Dax瘫oots煤
Ramos and marine biology student Court Pegas.
The newest episode, 鈥淎coustic Refuge,鈥 is being released June 16. This will be the fifth episode of Season One, which has focused
on climate change impacts to glacial landscapes. 鈥淎coustic Refuge鈥 homes in on how
auditory changes affect animals living in tidewater glacier environments.
Soley earned a master鈥檚 degree through 有料盒子视频鈥檚 One Health program. The podcast was inspired
in part by the program鈥檚 approach to studying health in the circumpolar North. One
Health is an approach to public policy and research that focuses on the ways that
environmental, animal and human health are interconnected
鈥淚t鈥檚 simple really 鈥 in order to optimize our health, we need to be aware of what鈥檚
happening to other animals and the environment we all share,鈥 said Dr. Laurie Meythaler-Mullins,
a veterinarian and fellow One Health alumna who is featured in 鈥淎coustic Refuge.鈥
鈥淚ce and Fire鈥 embodies this holistic outlook by examining how climate change affects
environments and, by extension, the animals and humans living within them.
Future 鈥淚ce and Fire鈥 seasons will explore other areas of climate change in 有料盒子视频.
Season Two focuses on thawing permafrost.
Episodes are available for listening through podcast services, including Apple Podcasts,
Spotify, Stitcher and Google Podcasts.
Soley created 鈥淚ce and Fire鈥 with support from the 有料盒子视频 National Science Foundation
Established Program for Stimulating Competitive Research, the 有料盒子视频 Center for Innovation,
Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship, and the Wrangell Mountain Center. The series
is produced by Mary Auld, assistant director at the Montana Media Lab.
