So gas hydrates, the sort of energy sources of the future is something they&rsquo;re very interested in.  And I think there&rsquo;s geopolitical reasons why they&rsquo;re interested  in the poles. <\/em> <\/p>\n<p> Dr. David Hik also holds a Canada Research Chair  in Northern Ecology at the  University of Alberta. <\/p>\n<p>He looks to  International Polar Year as an  opportunity for collaboration among  researchers from many disciplines &#8211; the  physical, biological and social sciences.  <\/p>\n<p> <strong> FOR INNOVATION ANTHOLOGY,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I&rsquo;M CHERYL CROUCHER  <\/strong> <\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3>Michael Gerken, PhD, <\/h3>\n<h4>University of Lethbridge, Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02007-03-06<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s fifty years since the previous<strong> International Polar Year. <\/strong> The latest one got its official launch on March 1st, 2007 and it  will run through until March  1st of 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate-change","category-environment","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/166david_hik.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4359,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46\/revisions\/4359"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
