Still North / Our demonstration programme
Questions worth sharing.
Source-reading sessions, practical workshops, and conversations across disciplines.
This illustrative calendar connects our journal, people, and learning guides. Each event explains the question, its limits, and what to read next. It is not a real programme: dates and venues are fictional, with no registration, booking, or payment.
Read the Arctic Report Card, not just the headline
A source-led reading session on baselines, seasonal statistics, and the difference between a striking number and a defensible claim.
Research questions, authority, and consent
A discussion about who shapes a research question, who has authority over the information, and what responsibility continues after a project ends.
Tundra greenness: ask what changed
A careful comparison of an indicator and an ecosystem: what a greener satellite signal can reveal, and what it leaves unanswered.
Repair before replacement: a practical clinic
Begin with the service an object needs to provide, then compare safe repair, maintenance, and replacement without inventing an environmental score.
Listening to an Arctic soundscape
Listen with provenance in mind: recording conditions, sampling effort, and the limits of turning a detected sound into a statement about animals.
Metadata that survives a handover
A worked handover exercise: make a small observation table understandable to somebody who was not in the room when it was created.
