Mary Edwards on Radio 4's Climate Change and Me
Don't miss Professor Mary Edwards, from Geography and Environment, speaking about climate change on BBC Radio 4.
Mary recently took part in the recent BBC Radio 4 series on Climate Change and Me. The series aims to share stories from scientists about their experiences of climate change and what they hope for the future.
In this week's episode, Mary shares with the programme some of her experiences from living in Alaska for many years. She is passionate about her work in the Arctic and continues to conduct research there. In the show, Mary talks about witnessing a cruise ship navigating the Northwest Passage for the first time and seeing Arctic villages disappear after landmass has been lost due to melting ice.

Emerita Professor Mary E Edwards PhD, FRGS
Mary’s interests are centred on global and regional environmental change: understanding climate-driven and human-driven changes in landscape, vegetation, and ecosystem processes over a range of timescales. She is particularly interested in Northern ecosystem processes and permafrost landscapes - how these intersect with climate change, the carbon cycle and human systems. Currently, she serves as UK representative to Terrestrial Working Group of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC). Recently, she has developed several collaborations on environmental change with Russian researchers in Siberia and the Russian Far East and co-leads the UK-Russia research group, DIMA. The main geographic regions in which she works are the Arctic and Subarctic of Siberia, Alaska, northwest Canada and Europe, plus the UK and Madagascar.
