Microgrid Technology And The Arctic: Green Renewable Technology Does Relate To The Land, Gerry Dell Aug 2019

Microgrid Technology And The Arctic: Green Renewable Technology Does Relate To The Land, Gerry Dell

2019 Cohort

Microgrids can take power from other energy sources and share their loads meaning there is a less reliance on diesel power generation. Wind mill power generators, solar power (for the summer) and battery storage are fantastic elements for providing consistent power in the Arctic. These power systems have been tried and proven, in all conditions, over many years. Geothermal is another green efficient way to heat homes and businesses in the Arctic. When I worked for Dome Petroleum in McKinley Bay NWT, I was fortunate to work in the most extreme winter weather the Arctic can produce. With global warming …

Grasping For The Ends Of The Earth: Framing And Contesting Polar Sovereignty, 1900-1955, Peter Kikkert Dec 2015

Grasping For The Ends Of The Earth: Framing And Contesting Polar Sovereignty, 1900-1955, Peter Kikkert

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

During the first half of the twentieth century, state officials, international lawyers and polar experts struggled to apply an underdeveloped and unclear international legal discourse on territorial acquisition and the establishment of state sovereignty to the harsh environment and unique conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic. Drawing upon fresh archival research undertaken in several countries, as well as a thorough interrogation and synthesis of existing historical and legal scholarship, this dissertation explores the knowledge production that occurred on terrestrial polar claims, thus reconstructing the transnational web of ideas, adaptations, strategies and best practices developed to address the confusion and uncertainty …
