In this episode, we learn the Yup'ik term for climate change-induced catastrophic land collapse, which occurs due to permafrost thaw, erosion, and flooding: Usteq.
We hear several definitions of the term, utilized by researchers and the government, and learn how these land changes are impacting communities in Western Alaska, in real-time.
topics and purpose: the long observed changes to the land described by the Yup'ik people, and related stress in present times
terms defined: usteq, land subsidence, divestment
