Atmospheric Model on your iOS device
Kudos to Al Hedin, who for several decades now has been the leader of a project to make the most comprehensive model of the atmosphere from the surface to the the exosphere (e.g. 500 km altitude). I never thought pouring over the MSIS FORTRAN code as a grad student that someday I would have (not only!) a phone in my pocket but one that could run that model, which needed a DEC VAX to compile (yup, pre-PC/Mac).
My new favourite iPhone app! This free app will be a useful professional, student and outreach tool.

Arctic scientists see Canada slipping on world stage

Yet increasingly, the basic science that would let us understand changes occurring in our own backyard — and either mitigate or take advantage of them — is being neglected by Canada and assumed by other countries, Arctic researchers say.
Austerity does not mean out-sourcing your future. As our Anthem says: “The True North strong and free!” Would it be cynical to suggest that since the most dramatic changes in climate due to human activity occur in the polar regions it is best to ask as few questions about the North as possible?

Camel fossils found in Canadian Arctic
Paging Lawrence of Nunavut: Camel fossils found in Canadian Arctic
How completely utterly cool is this, your desert camel’s ancestors were Canadian and lived in Nunavut!
Hey Crow Emily keep your eye out for camel bones up there!

Emily's Arctic Adventure: The many hats of Lab Emily
Crow Emily is hard at work on the CRL lidar at Eureka, only 1100 km from the North Pole! Follow her blog.
I believe based on the FoxInSox post in her blog she wears 500 hats (initially).
