@Marisol_Maddox @dartmouth We were so honored to host you @Marisol_Maddox ! You brought new ideas to our faculty, inspired our @DartArctic @DartmouthDickey @dartmouth students, and gave an amazing talk to our #Arctic community. Looking forward to future conversations and collaborations! ❄️

@Marisol_Maddox @Rep_Peltola @arctic_pol I love this!

Five Witness short films - stories by Indigenous filmmakers on how climate change impacts their lives - were screened today at @skabmagovat. The series was co-produced by Arctic Indigenous Film Fund and @Telefilm_Canada, in collaboration with UArctic. ➡️uarctic.org/news/2024/1/ar…

Hello all! I wanted to encourage you to submit an abstract to a session I am co-convening at #ArcticCongress 2024 on Beyond Arctic Horizons: Building & Sustaining Support for the U.S. Arctic Social Science Community. Abstracts are due Jan 5th arcticcongress.com/call-for-abstr… #Indigenous

Mary Robinson reacts to the release of the draft text at #COP28: “It is not good enough to say you recognise and respect the science but then fail to take heed of its dire warnings in the collective action you commit to. It is not good enough to note with ‘alarm and serious concern’ the findings of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and the damage being caused by climate change but then fail to put in place the steps the science recommends. It is not good enough to say you reaffirm the Paris Agreement but to then fail to commit to a full fossil fuel phase out. It is not good enough to use weak language or to permit loopholes for the fossil fuel industry to continue to contribute to the very problem countries are meant to be committed to tackling here in Dubai. Adequate time and opportunity still lie ahead, provided that nations promptly return to the negotiating table, equipped with the resolve required for a crisis of this magnitude and a readiness to undertake the necessary measures. This current version of the COP28 text is grossly insufficient.” Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders #DraftText #COP28UAE

There's lots of announcements and news coming out of #COP28. I'm here to rank them for you from a climate scientist's perspective, using 🌴 for the wins and 🤦‍♀️ for the facepalms. Did I miss something? Let me know and I'll add it to this list! #ClimateAction #COP28FromHome 🧵

We are honored to be highlighted by @elinavaltonen, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Finland, in her online keynote speech at the #ArcticSpirit Conference: "@UArctic is a crucially important network for the Arctic"

@_Arctic_Circle @dartmouth @VarvaraKorkina @UAAResearch @uvic @northerniowa An honor for @DartArctic - me & @VarvaraKorkina [Kumandin] - to moderate this panel for our collaborative @NSF grant "Indigenizing Arctic Research" with Dr. Dalee Sambo Dorough [Inuit], Dr. Tatiana Degai [Itelmen], Dr. Matthew Druckenmiller & Dr. Andrey Petrov #Arctic #knowledge

Indigenizing Arctic Research at the #ArcticCircle #Assembly2023 Creating spaces where Arctic Indigenous Peoples define the terms of research is paramount. Establishing a real, respectful balance between Western science and Indigenous knowledge systems in Arctic research 💡

The newest scientific data shows that a big and very dangerous eruption is becoming more likely. The people of #Grindavik and the entire rescue and monitoring teams are demonstrating admirable calm and courage.
