REAL ICE CAMBRIDGE BAY DIARY
DAY 2 - 16 JANUARY 2024
🛷 Our first day of testing in the field started well, we successfully transported all of our equipment and two hydrogen cylinders to the designated site. Despite measuring the ice thickness (97 cm), creating a substantial hole, and mounting the pump, we encountered difficulties starting it due to the prolonged cold exposure during the snowmobile trip to our site, affecting both the battery power station and fuel cell power station.
❄️ The weather here in the Arctic can change very quickly, the team were also met with high winds bringing the temperature down to -40c on the ice. This was also paired with poor visibility making it difficult to even find our intended site which prolonged the teams exposure to these tough conditions.
🗂️ Our CEO, @Cían Sherwin, from Real Ice, met with Talia Maksagak, the Executive Director of Kitikmeot Chambers of Commerce. Cían and Talia discussed who Real Ice should connect with in the community and what was the best way to reach individuals as well as organizations in Cambridge Bay and communities within the Kitikmeot Region.
📝 Cian and Jacob Pantling (Cambridge University @climaterepaircambridge) also had a meeting with Zach Rychlo, a teacher at Kiilinik High School, who warmly welcomed us to their school for discussions and planning on how we could engage with their students. Zach introduced us to other teachers, some students who were still on campus after school, as well as the Principal and Vice Principal of the school.
❄️ Real Ice is currently conducting research in Cambridge Bay, utilizing a Hydrogen-powered pump as a key component of our approach. This collaborative initiative includes partnerships with the Centre for Climate Repair at Cambridge and Arctic Reflections. Stay informed about our advancements by following our day-to-day expedition diary in Cambridge Bay.

The NCCOS Competitive Research Program is pleased to announce its Fiscal Year 2024 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for its Effects of Sea Level Rise (ESLR) Program. The ESLR Program aims to support projects that contribute to a more resilient coast by delivering effective information to guide policy, land management decisions, and infrastructure design that include nature based solution principles when effective. All U.S. states or territories are eligible. Alaska specific priorities are also outlined with the expectation that at least one project will be funded to take place in Western Alaska.
The deadline for Letters of Intent is November 13, 2023, and for full applications is January 24, 2024. NCCOS will host an overview and Q&A webinar for potential applicants on October 6, 2023. View the full NOFO and details about the webinar via the following link.

(1) A system off the east coast of the United States could attempt to gain subtropical characteristics over the next 3 days.
(2) A system out to sea has a very low chance of formation as it disconnects from its fronts
From NHC at 8 PM
Northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of Mexico:
A broad area of low pressure has developed over the northwestern
Caribbean Sea just off the northeastern coast of Honduras, producing
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
Environmental Conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system during the next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to
form late this weekend or early next week while moving generally northward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Interests in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, western Cuba,
and Florida should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7
days...high...70 percent.
It's #WorldWaterDay 🌊 and a perfect time to think about this precious resource. On this day, we were very curious and asked ourselves a question: where are the furthest #ifm products for #watertreatment applications located?
It could be here at the Princess Elisabeth Station in #Antarctica.
Building a “zero emission” station in one of the most hostile environments on earth, using existing technology, is a testament to their vision. Recently, they decided to design a new water treatment system to be installed during the Antarctic summer of 2022. ♒
The new watertreatment system will be used to treat black and grey #water for up to 50 scientific and technical crew members during a 4-month stay. It will be at the forefront of environmental performance and set an example for water management practices in Antarctica and the rest of the world. 🌏
The location is extremely isolated. The nearest infrastructure is over 5000 km away and it can take two months to receive a part from #Europe.
Read our application report to find out how the process is organised and what ifm role is. And don't forget how important clean water is in our daily lives. 👇

🌊Long-term oceanographic observations are crucial for safeguarding and sustainably managing the deep-sea environment, especially with the potential mineral resource exploitation in mind.
That's why #VoluntaryCommitment number 3 by ISA is so pivotal! We're creating a pilot demonstration project to kickstart a long-term ocean observation programme in the APEI’s in the CCZ.
Through partnerships with esteemed scientific institutions and ISA contractors, we're paving the way for a brighter, more sustainable future for our oceans.

I love reading about RMI's projects; they always aim to create a sustainable future that also benefits the local community. It's evidence that some of the best results don't come from wide-acting global policy or aggressive system overhaul - sometimes, focusing on the small scale is just as effective!

That's the best way to describe the 2 solar+battery storage microgrid projects we commissioned last week in Dominica. These projects will deliver reliable clean power to two schools during normal operations, and provide emergency and evacuation services to the community in the event of major storms or disruptions.
This achievement marks a significant milestone in our journey toward a sustainable and resilient energy future, where we not only reduce our collective carbon footprint but also enhance energy reliability and grid resilience.
These projects are #mighty in telling A Story of Resilience: Both Human Resilience and Energy Resilience. A story of how a community can build back better and stronger. After being severely damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017, Morne Prosper Primary School and Paix Bouche Primary School were subsequently rebuilt and retrofitted with climate resilience measures that will allow these institutions to provide reliable emergency and evacuation shelters for their communities. That is truly something to be celebrated.
These projects are #mighty in their demonstration of The Power of Partnerships. Made possible through partnership and collaboration between the Ministry of Education and Government of Dominica, Clara Lionel Foundation, and RMI.
These projects are #mighty in providing a Model for the Caribbean and Beyond. The people of Dominca have proven that size doesn't matter. The Dominica Microgrid Projects serves as a proof point for how solar and storage systems can preserve community vibrancy and bolster energy and economic resilience amid intensifying climate-induced hurricanes.
We hope that this will be a catalyst for investing in greater initiatives focused on climate and energy resilience, throughout the Caribbean region and beyond.
