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.

Chasing The Tree Line: How is Climate Change Affecting Arctic Plants?
Based at the Abisko Scientific Research Station, this podcast takes you into the field with scientists as they investigate climate change in an Arctic environment. In this episode, join the team observing plant development throughout the seasons along a transect that stretches from the top to the bottom of Mount Nuolja.
Swedish Botanist, Thore Fries, collected the same data 100 years ago in the same spot, so we can compare the information we gather today to that from the landscape a century ago. This helps us understand the impact of climate change on specialised arctic plant species, and predict how communities might change as the seasons warm and the specialised cold high arctic environment shrinks.
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
