Mara Hoplamazian
Reporter, Climate ChangeMy mission is to bring listeners directly to the people and places experiencing and responding to climate change in New Hampshire. I aim to use sounds, scenes, and clear, simple explanations of complex science and history to tell stories about how Granite Staters are managing ecological and social transitions that come with climate change. I also report on how people in positions of power are responding to our warmer, wetter state, and explain the forces limiting and driving mitigation and adaptation.
Please get in touch with story ideas or questions about climate change in New Hampshire. mhoplamazian@nhpr.org.
