Alaska has a long history of human exploration and exploitation, which creates ongoing conflicts based on scientific findings that may conflict with policies and practices adopted by government and industry. From threats to major fisheries, the lingering effects of the Exxon Valdez accident, and the accelerating changes associated with a warming climate, there are numerous opportunities to see the impacts first-hand and consider more sustainable options for future growth and development. The expansiveness of the 49th state and its multi-cultural history also present a unique opportunity to understand the difficulties of providing quality health care to a highly diverse population.
