Subject: [CRYOLIST] BBC: request for info about research in the Canadian and Alaskan Arctic
Dear Cryolisters,
I'm an Executive Producer in the Science Department at the BBC in London – we make all kinds of Science documentaries for TV, many of which are shown throughout the world. We're currently researching a new series based on the North West Passage, using its geography to tell the story of the "fastest changing environment on Earth", ie the Arctic. So we're on the lookout for science that taps into this theme, particularly ice research.
I'm interested in any field based research that's been done recently (or is about to be done) on Arctic sea ice or glacial ice or related subjects.
The NW Passage is actually a very broad geographical area (at least it is for the purposes of this TV project); for our purposes it encompasses all of Arctic Canada and Alaska, and a bit of Greenland too. I have a personal fascination with the "lobe" glaciers of Axel Heiberg, and I'd love to know what's happening to them. But really our brief is very wide indeed: we're looking at stories that involve changing migration patterns of whales, the hunt for Franklin's ship, the impact of changing ice conditions on polar bears and on Inuit communities. We're interested in taking a submarine under the Arctic sea ice to research its thickness and in ice/atmosphere linkages – the list goes on.
But this is TV, so there needs to be something to film – either a natural phenomenon, a process, a research mission, people or animals doing things...
Any suggestions very gratefully received.
Jonathan
