As you might be aware, the data brought back from the ice by Pen and the Catlin Arctic Survey (CAS) team, has, over the last 6 weeks, been analysed by Prof Peter Wadhams and his colleagues at the Polar Oceans Physics Group at the University of Cambridge. In close partnership with the WWF this analysis has been presented at a press conference in London, within the last few days.

Peter Wadhams and Nick Toberg the report authors, highlight the vulnerability of the Arctic Ocean sea ice, supporting a consensus view that the Arctic will be ice free in 20 years, but with much of it happening within the next decade. (more…)

Scientists know that global warming is thinning the Arctic ice cap. They’re just not sure how fast. Some researchers think there could be ice-free summers at the top of the world within four years; others say it’ll take a century. (more…)

Time, the Global Magazine Publication, has just published it’s list of  ‘Environmental Heroes for 2009′ and it gives us great pleasure to announce that Pen Hadow, Ann Daniels and Martin Hartley, have been named within the Scientists and Innovators section, due to their ground-breaking study; The Catlin Arctic Survey. The Jenrick Recruitment Group were one of the first comfirmed  sponsors of expedition. You will find the article from Time detailed below, as well as a link  to the specific feature that was published on the Explorers. (more…)

As some of you may already know, Jenrick CPI is one of the key sponsors of the Catlin Arctic Survey, the findings of which will be put forward at the next Conference of Parties (COP15) in Copenhagen in November 2009.

The forerunner to Copenhagen took place in Poznan last week (COP 14), where the world’s leading nations attempted to lay the foundations for agreement next year. However, reports from Poznan suggest that the delegates are having some difficulty reaching agreements. (more…)
