Managing editor, Arctic Deeply
Hannah Hoag is the managing editor of Arctic Deeply. She has covered climate change, science policy, energy and health for more than a decade, reporting for a wide range of publications that include Nature, Discover, Wired, New Scientist, Maclean’s and the Globe and Mail. She is a contributor to The Science Writers’ Handbook: Everything You Need to Know to Pitch, Publish, and Prosper in the Digital Age, and served as deputy editor for the book’s website. Before turning to journalism, Hannah studied rare genetic diseases, but she decided reporting on science and its impacts might be a more exciting career. It also offered more adventure: Hannah has reported from an ice floe in the Beaufort Sea, a rainforest in Guyana and a canoe drifting across a northern Ontario lake.

About half of the global Arctic

electricity, often from diesel fuel. But it doesn’t have to be that way, as Gwen
Holdmann explains to Arctic Deeply’s
Hannah Hoag.
Last week, Barack Obama and Justin
Trudeau issued a statement spelling out their joint vision on climate, energy
