Description
While arctic thaw is leading to soggier conditions up north, places like Arizona, USA are experiencing higher rates of drought.

In this episode, we speak with Ph.D student Nikki Tulley, also a member of the Navajo Nation, about her work using satellite data to study water quality, access, and drought in her home community, Blue Gap.
