Podcasts about arctic studies

In this episode of the Passive House Podcast Architect Nat Madson and structural engineer Lauren Piepho of HGA join us to talk about Barry Mills Hall and the John and Lile Gibbons Center for Arctic Studies—Bowdoin College's first mass timber buildings and the first of their kind in Maine. They share the story behind the design and construction, from early ideas sparked by the college's pine-filled campus and carbon neutrality goals, to navigating mass timber systems, embodied carbon, and the buildings' architectural dialogue with campus history.Barry Mills Hall and the John and Lile Gibbons Center for Arctic Studies: https://hga.com/projects/bowdoin-college-barry-mills-hall-and-center-for-arctic-studies/Bowdoin College's case study of the project: https://www.bowdoin.edu/news/2020/pdf/furthering-mass-timber-construction---hga---consigli---bowdoin-college-22.pdfThank you for listening to the Passive House Podcast!

US President Donald Trump has his sights set on making Greenland part of the US, claiming the autonomous, self-governing territory of Denmark is essential "for national security and international security."However, the vast majority of Greenlanders have said they do not want to become part of the US. Denmark has also strongly opposed the suggestion. Despite this, the US President has continued to pursue the issue - his vice president JD Vance recently visited Greenland to make the case for the US annexing the territory.Katie Stallard is joined by Markus Valentin, a journalist based in Greenland, and Romain Chuffart, a professor of Arctic Studies, to discuss.

In this TAI Bookshelf podcast episode, we talk with Marjo Lindroth and Monica Tennberg about new ways of describing and understanding the Arctic and its complexity.

More naloxone kits and coming to Labrador West... We find out how you can learn to use one to save a life. (0:00) Rhivu has been getting to know Happy Valley Goose Bay, and this week. He joins Anthony to share stories from travels around town. (7:46) You can do it individually, or as a team. And it's not only an event with a clever name. This Sunday, the Goose Deuce duathlon is once again taking pace on Five Wing Goose Bay. (18:16) We hear from a Labrador woman about what it was like to be part of the world's biggest unplanned mud bath, after rain spoiled a major festival this week in the U.S. (27:29) "Arctic and Sub-arctic futures" is a new graduate program at the Memorial University Labrador campus, and we get a tour of what that looks like. (35:19) A dozen jobs will disappear in November, when the Air Canada counter closes at the Goose Bay Airport. The mayor of Happy Valley-Goose Bay will share his concerns about the impact of the layoffs. (44:01)

Information about global warming is everywhere. And although the delivery of this message brings up awareness, the overload of information can lead to ecological grief and anxiety. According to Geographer Ashlee Cunsolo, says that despite the discomfort these emotions may bring, acknowledging these feelings can better help us understand the severity of the climate situation. Cunsolo is the founding dean of the School of Arctic and sub-Arctic Studies at the Labrador campus, at Memorial University. She spoke at the The Walrus Talks Youth and the Climate Crisis in March 2022. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today we are up in Labrador speaking with Dr. Scott Neilson, an archaeologist and faculty member of the Subarctic and Arctic Studies with the Labrador Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland. This interview takes place on an active excavation site within the community of Sheshatshiu, Labrador. Scott and I discuss the advantages of having students, researchers and community members participating in an active excavation site, specifically as a possible way of connecting the western approach of archaeological history with the Innu peoples approaches to their story. In this discussion Dr. Neilson also puts emphasis on his role as a researcher in service which he describes, as research that is foremostly driven by the community's needs and is initiated by invitation by community members rather than by the researcher request to explore questions formulated within a western framework.

In this episode we listen to four distinguished experts discuss the Emerging Arctic Security Concerns that Greenland and Iceland are facing with the growing international attention in the Arctic. The dialogue between Aaja Chemnitz Larsen, Member of the Danish Parliament, Sara Olsvig, Former Vice Premier, Minister in the Government of Greenland and current Member of the Constitutional Commission of Greenland, Marc Lanteigne, Associate Professor, Political Science Department at the Arctic University of Norway and Egill Níelsson, senior Advisor at The Icelandic Center for Research is moderated by Halla Hrund Logadóttir, Director General, National Energy Authority, Iceland. This event originally took place at the 2021 Arctic Circle Assembly in Reykjavík, Iceland and was organized in collaboration with the Centre for Arctic Studies at the University of Iceland.

The Dickey Center at Dartmouth: "Who 'Owns' the North Pole and Who Decides? Betsy Baker, Associate Professor at Vermont Law School and Senior Fellow for Oceans and Energy at the Institute for Energy and the Environment "Who 'Owns' the North Pole and Who Decides? Science, Politics, and Continental Shelf Claims" Thursday, February 20, 2014 Description: Professor Baker's immersion in Arctic law and policy flows from her work in Europe and the United States on law of the sea, international environmental law, comparative law, property law, and Canadian-U.S. cooperation. Her writing on legal aspects of continental shelf mapping landed her on the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Healy as a member of the science crew for two Arctic extended continental shelf mapping deployments to the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in 2008 and 2009. For 2009-2010, she was selected as a Dickey Research Fellow in the Institute of Arctic Studies at Dartmouth College.

Sunlight Absorption on the Greenland ice sheet Experiment (SAGE)" Tuesday, January 07 2014, 12:00pm - 1:30pm 041 Haldeman Center Chris Polashenski, PhD, Research Geophysicist, Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laborator (CRREL) Big changes are happening on the Greenland Ice Sheet. Trends show increasing melt extent, longer melt seasons, lower surface albedo, higher ice temperatures, and increased ice flow. All of these are important because the Greenland Ice Sheet is a major potential contributor to sea level rise. Zoe Courville, PhD, and Chris Polashenski, PhD, at the US Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) are leading a series of studies aimed at better understanding how albedo feedbacks are contributing to enhanced melt on the ice sheet. These studies are organized around large scale traverses of the ice sheet, observing albedo, snow properties, light absorbing impurity concentrations, and firn temperatures, and synthesizing data from the traverses with remote sensing observations and large scale modeling. The first traverse occurred from April-June 2013 and preliminary results will be presented. Part of the traverse followed the route pioneered by the godfather of Greenland research, Carl Benson. Replicating Benson's observations shows substantial warming has occurred in mid altitudes of the ice sheet. The traverse also found enhanced black carbon concentrations in the 2012 melt layer. We analyze these to assess the role that black carbon deposition may have played in the 2012 melt event, and compare the impacts of black carbon with grain metamorphosis. Finally we discuss plans for 2014 and invite comments and discussion. Dr. Polashenski is a research geophysicist with the Terrestrial and Cryospheric Sciences Branch at CRREL specializing in the physical properties of sea ice and snow. He received his undergraduate degree and a doctoral degree in material engineering from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, and is a veteran of Dartmouth's NSF IGERT program on polar environmental change. Now he leads research programs exploring processes of the cryosphere, particularly those that influence energy balance feedbacks, such as melt pond formation on sea ice, aerosol deposition in snow, and snow grain metamorphosis.
