This week I feature on the 4th Episode of the Global Lab podcast. The podcast is a great new initiative led by Martin and Steve from CASA where they talk about cities, global connectivity and the impact of technology on people’s lives. Episode four features some horrendous physics jokes, Einstein’s Garden at the Green Man festival and a few minutes of me sounding a little underwhelmed about my research. You can listen here.

It is one of the world’s longest running glacier monitoring projects and has educated hundreds of undergraduates (such as I was at the time) in glaciology, climatology and GPS surveying. It also provides invaluable training in how to live and work in an extreme environment. Many of the program’s alumni go on to work in Antarctica or the glacial environments above the Arctic circle.  The Juneau Icefield Research Program provided one of the most enjoyable and educational experiences I have ever had. The purpose of the short presentation below was to inform delegates at last week’s International Polar Year Olso Science Conference about the benefits of the program by providing a few “case studies”  from past participants.

You will find high resolution versions of many of the maps featured in the presentation available for download on this blog.

It was designed to give a few examples of PhD research within my immediate research group at UCL and also provide an update of my PhD research to date.

You can download the extended abstract here and I have uploaded the complete presentation below. In later posts I will provide a summary of the other papers presented in what I thought was a very interesting session.

The conference took place at LSE during one of the hottest weeks of the year and the organizers did a great job of keeping the delegates happy with plenty of strawberries, chilled drinks and sweets. I found the informal and friendly atmosphere a great place to discuss new ideas and find out what other postgraduates are up to in the field of Population Studies.
