In a departure from the usual lecture-style format, this Science for Alaska presentation will be an interview with space physicist Mark Conde and graduate student Kylee Branning to discuss why space weather is important to Alaskans and how their scientific careers have brought them from Tasmania to the tundra and from Switzerland to Antarctica.

Why is Fairbanks, Alaska, a uniquely good place to study space weather? What are exciting developments in University of Alaska Fairbanks research? How does studying space weather help Alaskans' communications systems, economics, and military?
