Our first NatureIDEAS event of the year is just one week away!
This year’s series examines Arctic research connections and international collaboration between Canada and the United States:
Cold-Loving Critters: Where Do Arctic Microbes Come From and What Do They Have to Do With Clouds?
Thursday March 24, 2022
-Presentation – 7:00 p.m. EST
-Q&A – 8:00 p.m. EST
The event will begin with introductory remarks by Dr. Amanda Savoie – Director of the Canadian Museum of Nature’s Centre for Arctic Knowledge and Exploration – who will provide an overview of the Museum’s research in the Arctic.
We’ll then be joined by our guest speaker Dr. Jessie Creamean, a research scientist from Colorado State University. Dr. Creamean will discuss her theory about why microbes and Arctic cloud formations are contributing to climate change. She will also reflect on her recent participation with the MOSAiC Arctic expedition, including how she was able to conduct her research aboard the Polarstern while spending four months trapped in ice.
An open Q&A session will follow her presentation. We encourage you to ask questions and engage in thought-provoking discussions about what you learned.
An evening of learning and connecting awaits you. We look forward to seeing you there!
NatureIDEASis a national event series about Canada’s relationship with nature and its integral part in our future. NatureIDEAS has been made possible with the support of the Embassy of the United States of America.
