Description
The impacts of climate change are all around us, but research in certain locations can provide particularly fascinating insights into this global issue. Dr Paul Treitz, based at Queen’s University in Canada, is using remote sensing techniques and field measurements to investigate what vegetation in the Arctic can tell us about the effects of climate change.
This brochure introduces Paul's work, offers an insight into careers in geography, contains an interview with Paul's colleagues and includes an activity sheet that challenges students to research an Arctic island.
