Five key themes guided this conversation with no strict goalposts and guardrails, so the conversation could follow its own course. Here's what to expect in this episode that's focused on Permafrost.  Explains active retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) that were found along the Alaska and Dempster highways in the Yukon. His experience in geohazard mapping in Northern Canada and what got him interested in climate-driven hazards. For all you geology enthusiasts, look out for the Klondike connection and paleontology. Almost one million years of permafrost archive data about Pleistocene Beringia - gold rush to really old “paleo” rush! Dawson was unglaciated - and that tells you something! The formation and degradation of permafrost (the process focus), including permafrost mapping in Northern Quebec and the Yukon. Is there a connection between permafrost distribution/thawing and wildfire propensity? How do the indigenous communities feel about the changing landscape and how are they preparing for changes in the soil with respect to their traditional practices and food security  - for example, the shrubification of the region that's replacing the lichen cover and the subsequent change in the migratory pattern of the caribou? Blending evidence-based and community-based interventions: How to facilitate the integration of science and traditional knowledge toward climate adaptation? Your host is curious about his 2018 project where he studied how the traditional land use by the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation of Old Crow was affected by this changing landscape? Thaw sensibility - map of traditional land use (only known by the community) and map of permafrost cover change to inform adaptation mechanisms, including infrastructure needs. A lake that drained due to permafrost degradation and the indigenous people losing their traditional fishing spot. The role of space-based earth observation (EO) in climate adaptation. Characterization of vegetation to inform the change dynamics and to identify potential permafrost sites (correlating the distribution of permafrost with a specific type of vegetation). Letty getting curious about the connection between peatland and permafrost (through wildfire-induced destabilization of the black spruce trees that collaborate with moss and lichen to perpetuate the usual cycle of life that now stands threatened). The conversation continues with the use of drones to develop orthomosaics and digital elevation models (DEMs) of areas in the far north where satellite imagery is scarce or blurry! Can get the depth of the peat and the flow direction of water to better understand the impact on permafrost (the latter suffers in the presence of the former because water brings along its heat source that accelerates thawing). Perhaps another opportunity for water heatmaps (hydrological network that could potentially drain the permafrost in northwestern Canada). How can we contribute to his research effort and other local efforts (their website: Yukon University Research Centre). A key stewardship message for his listeners. Letty learns that her leave-no-trace, responsible tourism efforts are threatening at best!  The background music that you might hear for about 1.3 minutes (toward the end) is from this YouTube video. Letty used the French version of O Canada for her rehearsal.

S1E4: The fading canvas (In conversation with Dr. Fabrice Calmels, Research Chair in Permafrost and Geoscience at the Yukon University Research Centre in Canada)

This week we are delighted to welcome Fabrice Camels, Joffrey Ballet Principal Dancer.  Fabrice was born in France and began dancing at the age of three.  He completed his ballet training at the Paris Opera Ballet school before venturing the the United States where he trained at the Rock School and danced with Pennsylvania Ballet. In 2002, he joined the Joffrey Ballet under the direction of Gerald Arpino. Mr. Calmels holds the Guiness World Record for The Tallest Ballet Dancer in the world at 6’ 6”.  Today we talk with Fabrice about his decision to come dance in the states, the challenges that come with his impressive height, his outside projects, and how he came to be an IMG model.

(35) Fabrice Calmels, Joffrey Ballet Principal Dancer

Born and raised in France, Fabrice Calmels began ballet training at age 3, following in the steps of his younger sister. In 1991, Mr. Calmels entered the Paris Opera School, under the direction of Claude Bessy. In 1998, Mr. Calmels was spotted by John Meehan, director of American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company, and moved to New York. He furthered his training by joining The Rock School, and danced with the Pennsylvania Ballet. After September 11, 2001, not able to acquire his visa to re-enter the United States, Fabrice returned home to France and joined Paris’s most famous cabaret, LIDO de Paris. In 2002 , Fabrice finally settled in Chicago with the Joffrey Ballet, under the direction of company co-founder Gerald Arpino, again being exposed to another style of dance. In 2004 and age 23, Fabrice became a lead dancer at the Joffrey Ballet, notably through his principal role as Apollo.
