Calm before the storm - Oslo 2010


Oslo 2010 brings together 2,000 of the best and brightest polar researchers under one roof June 8-12.
The early results presented here focus on the most remote and endangered areas of the Arctic and Antarctic.

I’m here for two reasons. One, because I produced and co-hosted an IPY-funded radio show on CKLB radio in Yellowknife that won two national radio awards. I'm interested in the people and the politics of Canadian research.

I’m also here because the sea ice, tundra, polar bears and seals that scientists study are the backbone of indigenous cultures around the world.
