September 12, 2021

This episode originally aired on February 18, 2018. Climate change is impacting archaeological sites at an alarming rate, and more importantly, the lives of people around the globe. We’re joined by Mike Roman to discuss how climate change is impacting Kiribati, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean.  We discuss some Kiribati history, the social impact of loosing heritage sites, and some suggestions for how people can get involved in combating climate change.
