Building Knowledge - Northern Research

 It's the ultimate challenge for northern green thumbs.

 For the last 7 years, researchers have been building a seed bank for the Northwest Territories.

 And this year, they're finally ready to start growing!

 Annika Trimble brought Joslyn up to speed on Seeds of Change.

 Louis Fortier has spent the last thirty years doing research in the Arctic.

 And this week, at the International Polar Year conference in Montreal, he was rewarded for his work.

 He spoke with Joslyn this morning, on our Northern Research Series.

 Next week, scientists from all over the world are getting together in Montreal to talk about the latest in polar research.

 They'll be going over the results of some of the studies funded through International Polar Year.

 The theme of the conference is From Knowledge to Action.

 And no one has a better handle on what these kinds of changes mean to the North, than the people who live here.

 Today on our research series, some of the NWT researchers headed to Montreal to present their findings.

 Erika Hille and Jolie Gareis are Inuvik-based scientists: LISTEN

 Joslyn also caught up with two Aurora College students from Deline, who are looking into climate change from both a traditional and scientific point of view: LISTEN
