A polar bear and young cub; hear about the danger of extinction facing polar bears in the Hudson Bay region in the Environmental News
This week on the show we heard from Sean Carey, professor of Geography at Carleton University and head of the Cold Regions Hydrology lab. He recently won the Young Scientist Award from the Canadian Geophysical Union for his research in understanding hydrological processes in northern environments. His research also focuses on snow, ice, and frozen ground in the north and how they affect hydrological processes, as well as being involved with environmental reconstitution of the Alberta Oil Sands. Robyn Penney spoke with him about the award, as well as some of his research.
On the Environmental News, Henry talked about the new Ontario eco-fee, some updates from bp, the dwindling numbers of Hudson Bay polar bears due to climate change, water shortages around the world, and in Panama, the first islands being abandoned due to rising sea levels brought on by climate change.
