Guests: Ignatius Rigor, Sarah Johnson
Making sense of the complex interplay between the air, ocean and sea ice is a challenging puzzle that motivates Rigor’s research. In this episode, we get an update on the Arctic Buoys project and their outreach efforts. Float Your Boat is an international program connecting people to the arctic ocean. 1,000-2,000 wooden boats are deployed annually during an Arctic Ocean expedition on the sea ice next to an Arctic weather buoy that is actively transmitting data to the International Arctic Buoy Programme. The wooden boat is assumed to be in the same position as the buoy as long as the buoy batteries last and the sea ice lasts. Learners can then follow the buoy data as a method to follow their wooden boat in the Arctic Ocean currents. The episode ends with Ignatius and Sarah sharing their experiences working with the locals and continually building relationships.
