  1. The Red River Rebellion 🏞️

    On November 2, 1869, Louis Riel led the Métis people in seizing Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) during the Red River Rebellion. This uprising was crucial in Manitoba's path to becoming Canada's fifth province in 1870 and established protections for French language rights and Métis land claims. Riel is now considered the Father of Manitoba. 🇨🇦

    Following the recent rescue of an orphaned #polarbear cub from the Churchill area, the cub is now in the care of the AP Conservancy and is seeking support for its Polar Bear Rescue & Care Team.
    "The Rice Family will generously match the first $25,000 in donations, doubling your impact for rescued polar bears."
    The $25k target is less than $1000 away, help them meet their goal!

  13. Mapping Snow On Northern Winter Roads - A Dual-Frequency Polarimetric Radar Approach For Snow Characterization Over Land, Lake And Sea Ice

    “Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
    Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

    “Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

    A very important #documentary by #aptninvestigates about #residentialschooldenialism, which should be a crime.

    The doc. is fairly well done, my one complaint is that they didn't give the #survivors enough air time, and gave too much to the racist horror show of a woman that is a scourge to the #indigenous people...I won't give her the attention by mentioning her name.
