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.
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.
