EDUCATION: Studied biology and geology at UNC—Chapel Hill. She then earned graduate degrees in the history of science at Oxford, where she was a Rhodes scholar, and geobiology at MIT.
EXPEDITIONS: Traveled to all seven continents for the sake of science, adventure, research, and writing.
Borderski, the most recent expedition, was a six-week, all-woman ski traverse of the eastern Pamir mountains in February/March 2015. The Pamir mountain range lies at the nexus of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Kyrgyzstan. The goal was to document the impact of border fences on migratory wildlife, especially Marco Polo sheep.
Kate is currently working on a documentary film about the expedition. Watch below the fantastic 3-minute trailer on the film. You will not be disappointed!
