Interview with Karin Kirk.

Karin Kirk is a geologist, science writer, and professional ski instructor from Bozeman, Montana. Her writing spans topics from Earth science to EVs and often is centered around data-rich visualizations – always with the goal of bringing clear and relatable explanations to confusing topics.In addition to writing for Yale Climate Connections, Karin is a science writer for NASA, where she writes about climate science and current events that shape the planet, such as wildfires, volcanic eruptions, sea ice, and weather events. She uses satellite imagery to track current Earth happenings and describe their significance to the public.But perhaps the most important aspect of Karin’s work is that she regularly engages with policymakers and voters about climate and energy issues. These interactions have profoundly shaped her communication skills and helped her develop effective approaches for a wide range of audiences.Karin holds a B.A. in geology from Skidmore College and an M.S. in geology from Montana State University.
