The Changing Arctic Landscape is published by University of Alaska Press. From the book description:
Photographer Ken Tape shows the changes in Alaska landscapes by pairing decades-old photos of the arctic landscape of Alaska with photos of the same scenes taken in the present. Each section includes a short biography of a pioneering scientist who was instrumental in both obtaining the antique photographs and advancing the study of arctic ecosystems, as well as interviews with scientists who have spent decades working in Alaska for the United States Geological Survey. The Changing Arctic Landscape is thus simultaneously an account of what we've learned, what we've lost, and what is left to us to preserve.
Ken Tape was raised in Fairbanks, has a master's degree in geology from UAF and is currently finishing his doctorate in biology. Light refreshments will be served.
