The Climate Challenge: USU Voices

This isn’t a climate issue; it is a cultural issue. Climate science is a vital area of research today, especially as the severity of the climate disruptions playing out across the globe are predicted to have long-term, catastrophic consequences.

The Climate Challenge digital collection is a small but important oral history effort that presents 13 voices of Utah State University climate scientists (2018) and Northern Utah and Northern Idaho climate activists (2021). The goal of the effort is to document the experiences of these two groups in an attempt to add to the growing scholarship about the human side of climate scholarship and awareness efforts.
