The northernmost human settlement in the world, Ny-\u00c5lesund<\/a>, has for more than 30 years hosted the UK\u2019s Arctic Research Station<\/a> \u2013 the nation\u2019s only permanent infrastructure near the Earth\u2019s northern pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard \u2013 one of the most rapidly warming<\/a> places on the planet \u2013 the station acts as a base for UK scientists studying how climate change is affecting the Arctic\u2019s ice, ocean, ecosystems and atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Friday, Carbon Brief joined representatives from the British Antarctic Survey<\/a> (BAS) and the Natural Environment Research Council<\/a> (NERC), which manage and fund the station, respectively, to host an online webinar live from Ny-\u00c5lesund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speakers explained more about the research that climate scientists are conducting in the Arctic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also answered a broad range of questions on everything from how people living at the station spend their evenings to the kinds of archaeological finds that have been unearthed from melting glacier ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The webinar was moderated by Carbon Brief\u2019s associate editor, Daisy Dunne<\/a>, and featured:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
