University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist pilots plane to study glacier melt and transport sled dogs

University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist Martin Stuefer combines piloting and research to study Alaska's environment. Stuefer, director of the Hyperspectral Imaging Lab, uses his Cessna 185 to collect data on ocean changes due to glacier melt. His passion for atmospheric science began with gliding in Austria. He has also used his flying skills for projects like the Yukon Quest, transporting sled dogs in extreme cold.
