Podcast Polar Times

Science and stories from literally the coolest places on the planet! It’s said that the poles are the thermometer for the rest of the planet- what happens to the rest of us, has already been happening there for years. It’s easy with the state of the world currently to bunker down in a little private bubble, but its more essential than ever that we broaden our horizons and remember that there’s a world out there that is incredible- and needs us! And if that sounds too heavy for you then instead why not join us to escape as we take to on audial adventures to these strange and remote and beautiful places? We’ll speak to guests who’ve looked polar bears in the eye, who drive 12k ton ships through ice 9ft thick or who spend years doing science with no-one but three other people and thousands of penguins for company! These are Polar Times we live in. Join us, and we’ll take you there! An APECS Production (Association of Polar Early Career Scientists). Music credits: ”Scuba” - Metre Unaltered License: CC BY-NC-SA

    Sense of the Arctic: Episode 4

    Welcome back for the fourth episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with the Polar Times.     In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Tero Mustonen, a Finnish researcher at the University of Eastern Finland and the president of SnowChange cooperative. He was also a lead author of the 6th IPCC assessment released in 2021, which had the first attempt at including traditional and indigenous knowledge in the report's findings.    We spoke about winter seining, SnowChange, the past and present impacts of colonisation and the importance and differences of community-driven research in the Northern European context. He also gave some sound advice on how and when to do research in the polar systems.    Here are some of the links spoken about during the podcast: SnowChange: http://www.snowchange.org/   As usual, if you would like to get in contact with Polar Times to recommend a guest, volunteer to be a guest, give us some feedback or just ask a question, then you can email us (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS @Polar_Research any time- we would love to hear from you.

    Sense of the Arctic: Episode 3

    Welcome back for the third episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with Polar Times.     In this episode, we had the pleasure of chatting to two members of the organization Ikaarvik, Justin Sigluk Milton, who is from Mittimatalik (Pond Inlet), Nunavut, now living in Ottawa, and Shelly Elverum, currently living in Mittimatalik. We spoke about Ikaarvik and the importance of community-driven research, as well as what Qaujimajatuqangit is. They also spoke about a couple of key points and actions to take when thinking about doing research in the north.   Here are some of the links spoken about during the podcast: Ikaarvik: https://ikaarvik.org/ ScIQ publication: https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.1139/as-2020-0015   As usual, if you would like to get in contact with Polar Times to recommend a guest, volunteer to be a guest, give us some feedback or just ask a question, then you can email us (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS @Polar_Research any time- we would love to hear from you.

    Sense of the Arctic: Episode 2

    *TRIGGER WARNING: discussion of systemic racism and inequality were discussed and may be triggering to those that have experienced similar situations*   Welcome to the second episode of Sense of the Arctic, a podcast miniseries from the APECS Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with the Polar Times.    This series highlights the importance and implementation of scientific collaboration with Arctic communities through community-based monitoring (CBM), co-production of knowledge, and equitable data management.   Our second guest is Margaret Rudolf, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, working at the International Arctic Research Center with the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy and the Research Networking Activities for Sustained Coordinated Observations of Arctic Change (CoObs RNA). Margaret talked with us about her experiences as an Inupiat woman in the sciences that led her into her current field of research in evaluation and success metrics of Indigenous-led co-production of knowledge and the role of boundary spanners in enhancing scientist-community relations.    Below are some links and references that are mentioned in the podcast that you may be interested in: Margaret’s research website: https://uaf-accap.org/research-activities/understanding-coproduction-ak-native-communities/ https://sites.google.com/view/tektalks/home Links to programs mentioned in the podcast: Arctic Food Sovereignty Working Group- https://arcticobservingsummit.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/AOS2022_poster_P-015.pdf https://akcasc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FSWG-Presentation-2022.pdf SAON Roadmap- https://nora.nerc.ac.uk/id/eprint/532146/1/ARCTIC_2021_SAON_Roadmap.pdf Arctic PASSION- ​​https://arcticpassion.eu/ As usual, if you would like to get in contact with Polar Times to recommend a guest, volunteer to be a guest, give us some feedback or just ask a question, then you can email us (thesearepolartimes@gmail.com) or tweet APECS @Polar_Research any time- we would love to hear from you.
