Air travel is one of the few sectors of the Canadian economy where carbon emissions are going in the wrong direction: up.

(Oil and gas is the other)

Airlines are counting on sustainable fuels but critics say the only solution is fewer flights. #cdnpoli https://t.co/uN4mLsVij8

They took my drone case but left me and my scientific curiosity behind...

Day 14 of #ExpeditionHBL:

The crew has wrapped up their data collection here in the #Kashechewan area. We celebrated with a nice meal made with fish caught by our guides, and cooked by yours truly with much help from the team. We also made it out to Nunavut, and I drove a boat.

@MikeRDuckworth @WWFCanada @McMasterSEES @Mushkegowuk You had me worried that Twitter compressed the photo so much that the box was not discernable, meaning all my photos were pretty awful 😬. Happy to take you up if you are in the GTA sometime. 👍👍

Incredible takeoff this morning as we continue our #ExpeditionHBL mission in the James Bay Lowlands. @McMasterSEES @Mushkegowuk @WWFCanada

Day 7 of #ExpeditionHBL was incredible. The weather was cold and rainy, but the smiles were so bright that it sometimes felt sunny! Peat sampling!
