The Alaska Forum on the Environment has worked to get contaminants out of Alaska’s land, water and air for more than 30 years. Once a year, they bring representatives from the military, state, federal and tribal governments together with industry leaders to discuss new methods for removing marine debris, responding to oil spills, tackling legacy pollution, and addressing climate change. We talk with presenters about the latest ways to protect the health of Alaska’s ecosystem on this Talk of Alaska.

HOST: Lori Townsend

GUESTS:

  • Kurt Eilo, Executive Director, Alaska Forum
  • Rick Thoman, Alaska Climate Specialist, International Arctic Research Center at UAF
