A climate change podcast from the front lines of Arctic climate research. Based at the Abisko Scientific Research Station in northern Sweden, each episode we'll join a different team of scientists out in the field as they conduct their research in the arctic environment. From carbon emissions from changing soil types as the permafrost thaws to the movement of plant species' range as the warmer winters and longer growing seasons change their environment, we'll find out how their cutting-edge research helps us to understand climate change better.

Bumblebees in the Arctic: How is Climate Change Impacting our Bees?
This week we’re heading up Mount Nuolja in Abisko, Sweden, armed with insect nets and measuring pots to catch and record different Arctic bumblebees. Emma joins Ryan and Lottie from Imperial College London, as they set off to investigate the plant-pollinator relationships that characterise the lives of the 15 bumblebee species that live here in the Arctic.
By understanding more about how the different bumblebees interact with the different flowering plants up the side of the mountain and through the seasons, we can begin to predict whether these bumblebees might be impacted by climate change; if the plants flower at different times to ‘usual’ with warmer summers, the timings of bees seasonal emergence may not coincide.
Listener Survey
After listening, please consider taking part in a short listener survey. It'll take less than 10 minutes, all responses are anonymous and the data collected will form part of Emma Brisdion's MSc thesis. Take the survey: https://uwe.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9zeSl7JQcD5xnx3
