The Jenrick Recruitment Group, a long-term client of Solutions Four, is a key sponsor of one of the most important scientific surveys of recent times – The Catlin Arctic Survey.
You may have seen it on the news, but if not, here is a brief introduction to what the survey is all about:
“Leading polar explorer Pen Hadow has confirmed the go-ahead for a major scientific expedition to measure the thickness of the remaining permanent Arctic Ocean sea ice - called The Catlin Arctic Survey.
This pioneering survey, which starts in February 2009, is a collaboration with leading scientists to help them more accurately assess the state of the rapidly receding Arctic sea ice in a fragile region already affected by climate change.
Current estimates as to how long ice will be a year-round feature around the North Pole vary considerably, with scientific predictions ranging between five and 100 years. More accurate data, measured at the surface itself, is essential if scientists and decision-makers are to fully anticipate the potentially devastating impacts of near total sea ice loss each summer on millions of people across the world.
The project, to be known as the Catlin Arctic Survey, has amassed substantial financial backing for the £3m survey despite the gloom currently surrounding the world economy and has secured support from UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme), WWF International and the Royal patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales.”
