Meet the Founding Editors

NOAA has led the production of the Arctic Report Card since 2006. Each year, the report is coordinated by a small group of editors that each bring a unique background to the Report Card. This year, to honor the 15th year of the Arctic Report Card, we talked to some of the founding editors about their thoughts on Arctic research.
