@AEDerocher I am saddened to hear this Andy. I can clearly recall meeting you and Ian for the first time some 40 years ago on Cape Churchill. Ian has been a wonderful colleague and inspiration for me and the entire polar research community.

Exciting news! The #StrategicScienceFund #CDNScience will provide another five years of support for innovative Arctic research in Canada, supporting a renewed @ArcticNet, with contributions from numerous partners including @ITK_CanadaInuit and @POLARCanada

[ITK @ITK_CanadaInuit]

The work of @ArcticNet will continue in partnership with ITK & @POLARCanada
"We hope this display of mutual respect and collaboration will serve as an example of how research can and must be done in Inuit Nunangat" - ITK President Natan Obed

John was the longest serving member of @POLARCanada Board - since 2010. The @Arctic, like many of us, has lost a good friend. Vancouver Aquarium head John Nightingale loved to connect people with science /via @globeandmail https://t.co/qO2mSU0L2T

Happy Father's Day! I have been a been very fortunate son and dad for the last 60 years. Looking forward to the next adventures.

This heatwave extends all way to the Arctic islands. Snow and ice is melting rapidly and too early here in Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktutiak), affecting safety and logistics for travel, fishing and research this spring.

[Scott Duncan @ScottDuncanWX]

This is all part of a bigger 'heatwave' ongoing over much of Western Canada. Inevitable that more records will break in the coming days.

This map shows how much warmer (🔴) or cooler (🔵) it is compared to average.

We are excited to share the news of new community-specific reports released by the #Nunavut Research Institute (NRI) on research trends based on scientific research licenses (2004-2019)! @McMasterSEES @CarletonDGES @MIRIMcMaster @NUArcticCollege https://t.co/y13TdnqVev

Happy #DarwinDay2023! Last month I finally had the opportunity to climb Cerro la Campana #Chile, following in Darwin's footsteps - although 189 years later. Quite the view of Pacific and Andes. La Campana National Park is now a #UNESCO Biosphere Reserve #biodiversity

[PolarKnowledgeCanada @POLARCanada]

We have a new #CHARS tour video! Explore the Main Research Building and its labs; the Field and Maintenance Building with its equipment; and the triplex accommodation.

@T_Unnsteinsson @SFUEarthScience Congratulations Tryggvi! It was a pleasure to have you here (in all of its varied dimensions).

"In general, across the territories...we are seeing much warmer-than-normal summer - and not just in a few sites." 2022 is not an anomaly - the amplification of Arctic warming is accelerating, with implications for #Arctic people and environments, and the rest of the world.

[Canada in the Arctic @CanadaArctic]

166 temperature records were broken across the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon this summer. This year’s trend is a concerning reminder of the risk climate change poses to our planet. Read more: https://t.co/7zuEcu98Mq
