Oklart vad Trump egentligen vill ha, säger EU-korrespondent Andreas Liljeheden, men trots det kvarstår hotet att ta kontroll över Grönland. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Danmark som satsat hela sitt utrikespolitisk kapital på ett helhjärtat stöd till USA har nu tvingats att tänka om efter hoten från Trumpadministrationen. Även den Arktiska säkerheten var i fokus förra veckan under den årliga konferensen Arctic Frontiers i Tromsö, Norge. Samtidigt förbereder sig övriga EU på eventuella hot om handelstullar och vad man då kan tänkas ta till i en eventuell förhandling. Medverkande: Andreas Liljeheden, EU-korrespondent, David Rasmusson, Danmarkskorrespondent, Carina Holmberg, Nordenkorrespondent.Programledare: Parisa HöglundProducent: Tomas Eriksson

Trump vil virkelig ha Grønland, så hva nå? Nordområdene er plutselig blitt sentrum for verdenspolitikken. På Arctic Frontiers i Tromsø samlet vi utenriksminister Espen Barth-Eide, Høyre-leder Erna Solberg, Nordisk Ministerråds leder Karen Ellemann og USA/Russland-ekspert og historieprofessor ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet Stian Bones.

Nordiske samfunnsprofiler samlet på Arctic Frontiers for å diskutere det store geopolitiske bildet fra et stadig mer militarisert Nord.Med utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide, generalsekretær Nordisk ministerråd Karen Elleman, programleder for Norsken, dansken og svensken Hilde Sandvik, NRKs Russland-korrespondent Gro Holm, historieprofessor ved UiT Norges arktiske universitet Stian Bones.Livepodden er et Open Arctic-arrangement ved ProTromsø i samarbeid med UiT Norges arktiske universitet, Tromsø kommune og Arctic Frontiers på restaurant Skirri på Kystens hus.

Vi besøkte den internasjonale konferansen Arctic Frontiers i Tromsø og samlet noen kloke hoder for å tenke høyt om den aktuelle sikkerhetspolitiske situasjonen sett fra nord. Forholdet til Russland har endret seg fullstendig på kort tid, hvordan ser naboskapet i nord ut i framtiden? Når kommer det en ny politikk for Nordområdene? Og hva er egentlig det unike blikket folk i nord har nasjonalt og internasjonalt vs. resten av landet? Med Skjalg Fjellheim, politisk redaktør i Nordlys, Kari Aga Myklebost, professor UiT Norges arktiske universitet og Jonas Stein, førsteamanuensis UiT.

Lesley hotfoots (or is that coldfoots?) it back from the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromso, via Methil, for this week's podcast. I return tae hame groond frae the less exotic but no less exciting Glasgow, and Celtic Connections. Lesley's plea for the Scottish establishment to turn on to what a great city Dundee is kicks us off. Unsurprisingly I'm with her all the way but are we Dundonians our own worst enemies? Cooperation was the buzzword with the delegates in Tromso, but have the Icelanders upstaged their Scandinavian cousins with their Arctic Circles forum in Helsinki staged at their brilliantly bonkers conference centre? And what can Scotland learn about developing our towns and cities outwith the Glasgow Edinburgh axis from the Norwegian experience? Lesley's photos of her visit to an amazing outdoor kindergarten in Tromso really caught my attention and I'm stunned and impressed, once again, by just how right Norway seems to have got early years education. Having made the revelation last week that I'd never been to a Burns Supper I try and explain why. This leads me, I've got that kind of mind chums, to the repeal of OBFA, and the nagging suspicion that Labour and the Tories may be playing political games over this. All the above plus, Lesley talks in Norwegian, I reply in Finnish, and even more Celtic Connections chat.

Arctic Dispatch (starts at 2:18): There is no question that the Arctic is thawing faster than anywhere on the planet, except the western Antarctic Peninsula. But there are still so many unknowns regarding how things are actually changing in different places, and to what effect. How On Earth's Susan Moran recently attended the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromso, Norway. Among the scientists who discussed research on how the receding and thinning ice in the Arctic will likely affect different species was  George Hunt, a research professor of biology at the University of Washington. Aili Keskitalo, an indigenous Sami from Finnmark, Norway and president of the Sami Parliament, discussed how energy projects, including windmill parks, are negatively affecting reindeer and Sami culture. Hunt and Keskitalo discussed these issues with Moran. Wind forecasting (starts at 10:40): The wind industry in the U.S. faces several hurdles, including a technical one: discovering how the wind is going to blow near the mountains. For power systems to be reliable, operators must know when to expect the blustery gusts or when to expect a still breezeless calm day.  That means they need accurate wind forecasts.  The Department of Energy has just given a substantial grant to a coalition of organizations in Colorado to help improve wind energy forecasting in mountain and valley regions. Julie Lundquist, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences at the University of Colorado, discusses the current and planned research with co-host Jane Palmer.

Today's show offers three features: Arctic Dispatch: (start time: 1:02) Co-host Susan Moran returns from Tromso, Norway, with a dispatch from the Arctic Frontiers conference, which addressed the human health and environmental impacts of a rapidly thawing Arctic. Lars Otto Reierson, executive secretary of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program within the Arctic Council, discusses the transport and impacts of  contaminants on the Arctic food web and the indigenous people who depend on it. And Michael Tipton, a physiologist at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K., speaks about the risks of and physiological responses to extreme cold environments. Read Susan's article in Popular Science for more about the thawing Arctic. Atmospheric methane spikes: (start time: 9:39) Dr. Ed Dlugokencky, an atmospheric chemist with NOAA’s Earth Systems Research Laboratory, speaks with co-host Jim Pullen about a paper he co-authored in Science about a recent spike in atmospheric concentrations of methane, which is 30 times more effective than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. The graph to the right shows globally averaged methane (blue) and its de-seasonalized trend (red) determined from NOAA's global cooperative air sampling network.

During the Arctic Frontiers conference in Tromso, Norway in January 2012, Arctic Institute contributor Tom Fries had the chance to interview Jason Meyer, who works at the Alaska Center for Energy and Power. His work involves identifying and testing new and effective energy technologies for the Arctic - often with the goal of providing power to Alaska's remote communities - and assisting them through the development process. His interest in this field began in Vanuatu, an island in the South Pacific where the local communities have some surprising commonalities with Alaska's remote towns. These days, his work brings him into contact both with the complexities of intellectual property law and with the promise of exciting new developmental technologies.
