In this podcast, Canada's History speaks with Warren Lake, a finalist for the 2018 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Warren’s students participated in a citizen science project with the Arctic Institute of North America. Over a ten-week period, students transcribed whaling navigator journal entries from the 1850s. They pulled out data on climate, weather, sea ice, and location to be used by researchers developing new sea ice and climate models for this time period.
