 Dr. Jessie Creamean is originally from a small town in northern Illinois. She went to college at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign where she majored in Chemistry. She then went on to get her MS and PhD from the University of California, San Diego, where she also studied chemistry, but from an atmospheric/climate perspective. Next, she bounced over to NOAA in Boulder, Colorado where she did my postdoc fellowship on aerosol-cloud-precipitation processes in remote regions. And that, friends, is where she fell in love with the Arctic Region. After working as a Research Scientist at NOAA, she wound up here in Fort Collins as a Research Scientist in the CSU Department of Atmospheric Science. A fun fact about Jessie is that she LOVES the cold. She's been to the Arctic 8 times on land and icebreaking ships, and will be adding Antarctica to her list of places she's worked starting in 2024. Jessie is ALSO an associate editor for 2 major atmospheric journals and has several students and postdocs that work on her projects involving aerosol particles, clouds, sea ice, the ocean, and permafrost. When she is not traveling around the world for work, she loves to enjoy the Colorado lifestyle of climbing, skiing, mountain biking, camping...you name it. She also has two cute, fuzzy golden retrievers, Montana and Whiskey, who are her adventure buddies.  To reach Jessie, email her at jessie.creamean@colostate.edu.

The 2021 Camden Conference focused on The Geopolitics of the Arctic. This is the second episode of our three-part series featuring Frances Ulmer on Winners and Losers in the 21st Century Arctic; Ulf Sverdrup on A Frozen Region Goes Dynamic; and Gail Whiteman on What Happens in the Arctic Doesn't Stay There: The Arctic as a Barometer of Global Risk.

Indian texts have two calendars, one based on the movement of Sun,Surya Manasa,Solar Calendar and Chandra Manasa,based on the movement of the Moon. The movement of the Moon is calculated by Thithis;they are fifteen. Solar year is calculated on the basis of the movement of the Sun and the Stars are taken as the basis. For auspicious occasions, the Nakshatra is given more importance while inauspicious occasions like Sraddha,the annual death ceremony, only the Thithis are taken into account. These two are correlated. One must  rember the following before proceeding further. 1.The landmass in those ancient times were different from what we find today. Please read my articles on Rodina, Pangea Super continents of ancient times. 2.Santana dharma was present throughout the world. 3. The Vedas were not compiled in one shot. The Truth ,as revealed to the Rishis were compiled as and when they were revealed.For details please read ‘when were the Vedas compiled' So what is found in the Rig Veda is the oldest records. What is mentioned in the Rig Veda about movement of Stars and Planets refer to the period and indicate the area wherethe people lived. While the later Vedic texts mention Dakshinayna and Uttarayana, they refer to what they observed,that is the movement of the Sun to South or to North. This is what we practice today. But what the people of the Rig Vedic Time observed was the day extending for six months, night for six months,was called as Devayana( Day) and Pitruyana(Night). For more on this read my article On Aryaman. 4.It is also probable that two or three groups lived, one each at the Polar regions and another in the other areas. This would account for the classification of Dravidas,Milechas and people being called Rakshasas who hailed from the south. 5.Thus the descriptions of celestial movements in the Rig Veda indicate that people of those times lived in the Arctic Region. ‘The Taittirîya Samhitâ and the Brâhmanas distinctly mention a lunar month of thirty days and a year of twelve such months, to which an intercalary month was now and then added, to make the lunar and the solar year correspond with each other. The ecliptic, or the belt of the zodiac, was divided into 27 of 28 divisions, called the Nakshatras, which, were used as mile-stones to mark the annual passage of the sun, or the monthly revolution of the moon round the earth. The two solstitial and the two equinoctial points, as well as the passage of the sun into the northern and the southern hemisphere, were clearly distinguished, and the year was divided into six seasons, the festivals in each month or the year being accurately fixed and ascertained. The stars rising and setting with the sun were also systematically observed and the eastern and western points of the compass determined as accurately as the astronomical observations of the day could permit. In my Orion or the Antiquity of the Vedas, I have shown how the changes in the position of the equinoxes were also marked in these days, and how they enable us to classify the periods of Vedic antiquity. According to this classification the Taittirîya Samhitâ comes under the Kṛittikâ period (2500 B.C.), and some may, therefore, think that the details of the Vedic calendar given above are peculiar only to the later Vedic literature. A cursory study of the يig-Veda will, however, show that such is not the case. A year of 360 days, with an intercalary month occasionally added, or a year of twelve lunar months, with twelve intercalary days inserted at the end of each year was familiar to the poets of the يig-Veda and is often mentioned in the hymns.* More @ https://ramanisblog.in/2017/02/02/veda-compiled-in-arctic-devayana-pitruyana-evidence-rig-veda/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

A recent study has revealed that the Arctic region is becoming greener at an alarming rate. The region is typically covered in ice, and its low temperature is generally not suitable for vegetation. However, because of global warming, the vast ice sheet covering the region is now slowly melting, allowing plants to grow. Dubbed as Arctic greening, the phenomenon is characterized by the growth of vegetation in plantless areas. It also involves further increase and growth of plants in areas where they were already present. Aside from the extent of Arctic greening, the phenomenon's causes were also discovered. The study's findings revealed that aside from the increase in land temperature, other causes include varying melting periods of snow and increased moisture in the soil. The team that conducted the study is composed of 40 scientists from North America and Europe. According to Dr. Jeffrey Kerby, one of the lead researchers, the team has used innovative ways of analyzing and processing various data ranging from recent images to the earliest collected ones. The researchers used the most up-to-date technology for drones, satellites, and planes to observe the phenomenon from space. Then, they compared data from their aerial devices with observations they gathered on the ground. According to one of the researchers, the study's findings are useful in identifying the factors that contribute to global warming and reducing their effects. In addition, an executive from one of the team's partner organizations said that these findings will also help people further understand the Arctic region.

In today's Federal Newscast, the Coast Guard will finally get one of it's ships it says it's needed for a long time, but also puts out a new strategy for the Arctic region which says it will need more ships, planes, helicopters, and drones.
