The conference examines the concept of diversity as a positive aspect of a global world and globalized society. Diversity is in many ways reflective of our present world order, but there are ways of taking this further without necessarily engendering its alternatives: racism, conflict, discrimination, and inequity. Diversity as a mode of social existence can be projected in ways that deepen the range of human experience.

Encyclopedic Entry North Pole Geographic North Pole For the complete encyclopedic entry with media resources, visit: http://education.nationalgeographic.com/encyclopedia/north-pole/ The North Pole is the northernmost point on Earth. It is the precise point of the intersection of the Earth's axis and the Earth's surface. From the North Pole, all directions are south. Its latitude is 90 degrees north, and all lines of longitude meet there (as well as at the South Pole, on the opposite end of the Earth). Polaris, the current North Star, sits almost motionless in the sky above the pole, making it an excellent fixed point to use in celestial navigation in the Northern Hemisphere. The North Pole sits in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, on water that is almost always covered with ice. The ice is about 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) thick. The depth of the ocean at the North Pole is more than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet). The Canadian territory of Nunavut lies closest to the North Pole. Greenland, the world's largest island and an independent country within the Kingdom of Denmark, is also close to the pole. The North Pole is much warmer than the South Pole. This is because sits at a lower elevation (sea level) and is located in the middle of an ocean, which is warmer than the ice-covered continent of Antarctica.

  • Issue 15 · July 2009
    The James Caird Society Newsletter Issue 15 · July 2009 Antarctic scientists map penguins from space Penguin guano stains, visible from space, have helped British scientists locate emperor penguin breeding colonies in Antarctica. Knowing their location provides a baseline for monitoring their response to environmental change. In a new study, published in the journal Global Ecology and Biogeography , scientists from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) describe how they used satellite images to survey the sea-ice around 90 per cent of Antarctica’s coast to search for emperor penguin colonies. The survey identified a total of 38. Ten of those were new. Of the previously known colonies six had re- located and six were not found. Because emperor penguins breed on sea-ice during the Antarctic winter little is known about their colonies. Reddish brown patches of guano on the ice, visible in satellite images, provide a reliable indication of their location. BAS mapping expert Peter Fretwell said: ‘We can’t see actual penguins on the satellite maps because the resolution isn’t good enough. But during the breeding season the birds stay at a colony for eight months. The ice gets pretty dirty and it’s the guano stains that we can see.’ Emperor penguins spend a large part of their lives at sea. During the Antarctic winter when temperatures drop to -50°C they return to their colonies to breed on sea-ice, but this is a time when it is most difficult for scientists to monitor them. BAS penguin ecologist Dr Phil Trathan said: ‘This is a very exciting development.

HIGHLIGHTS: Andrew Blum THE WEATHER MACHINE: A Journey Inside the Forecast US: Ecco Press; UK: The Bodley Head/ PRH UK; Canada: HarperCanada; Germany: Knaus It’s tempting to treat the weather as a banality: a topic for the taxi-driver and the hairdresser. But the way we know “the weather”, and what it will do next, depends upon one of the largest and most elaborate pieces of infrastructure humans have ever constructed: a globe-spanning machine, hidden in plain sight… In THE WEATHER MACHINE, Andrew Blum, author of TUBES, takes readers on another unique journey, deep inside the weather report. Mixing a fresh take on the recent history of forecasting with on-the-ground reporting of today’s sophisticated weather-watching technology, Blum once again illuminates an unappreciated everyday wonder of the world. The weather forecast depends on the latest satellites and the fastest supercomputers, on international diplomacy and scientific innovation. It stands on the shoulders of every technology that defines modern life—from telecommunications to aerospace to ubiquitous cameras. But it stands silently. Like the Internet, it is both a marvel and a banality. And like the Internet, we know very little about how it all works. About who built it, and who makes it better.
