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

Welcome to the first episode from the Science and Diplomacy Project Group in collaboration with the Polar Times Team mini-series: Sense of the Arctic
This series highlights the importance and need for collaboration with communities through community based monitoring (CBM) and how it started and has changed over the years.
Our first guest is Dr. Noor Johnson, a research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder. She provides us with some information about what CBM is, where it was effectively used, its importance, and how you can start incorporating CBM into your own research.
