Colonizing the Arctic

Ғылым және технология

Humanity has long had outposts in the barren tundra lands of the arctic, but only in recent times have we visited the poles or the entire continent of Antarctica. In this episode we will explore how me use technology in the future to make cold permafrost into verdant farmland through greenhouses, solar mirrors, geothermal, or other techniques, as well as how we might follow a different path, and adapt our civilization to prosper among perpetual winter and ice.

    Yeah I caught that in the afternotes discussing the prior episode on Panspermia. It's funny because we just recorded a Panspermia episode for the end of January a few days before it came out and a shout out to a different episode of theirs in early January for Population 3 stars. Now I'm wondering if I should tweak the Panspermia episode a bit, as while there isn't too much overlap, I do think Matt did a a better job explaining a couple of the points on the topic than I did. Though actually my favorite part of that episode was the after notes with him discussing over-hyped scientific journalism and the problems with it or with getting rid of it, never heard it said better.

    Unfortunately the Russians screwed that one up with their borehole coated with kerosene and freon that flooded with lake water and may have contaminated the lake itself. We have no idea what is and is not native to said lake, and the Russians refuse to drill another hole properly. I do know that Lake Whillans has been sampled and the sediments below it were collected back in 2013 by another group of scientists, so you might look into their research to see what has been found. They did it with a hot water drill so there is little risk of contamination.

    building self sustaining domed communities in the arctic (or Antarctic) sounds like a reasonable prerequisite for any group planning on going to Mars or the Moon. you don't have the pressure differences but you could test the structure to see if it would hold up to that as well. afterward you would be able to say this system works we tested it for 4 years or whatever. you would also be able to do some serious prototyping of industrial scale green houses so funding should be fairly easy to get.

    I'm not so sure it would be "horrors" to Inuit peoples. Folks who want to maintain a traditional (or reconstructed traditional) way of life would be free to do so since there is a lot of territory available. Care would have to be taken with the ecology of course. BTW: Technology is readily embraced by an awful lot of Inuit people. The benefits are obvious and they aren't dumb. In fact, they often seem to have a more conscious appreciation of technology than many other peoples for the simple reason that they have always had to rely on technology (and develop/improve it) to survive. At least that is my limited experience impression.

    You are missing the largest reason colder waters can support more biomass: The warmer water gets, the lower the solubility of oxygen in it. And oxygen is just really one of those things you want to deprive biotopes of if you want them to not die off. And considering that even biota as far away as the equator and beyond are connected to the sheer volume of Krill through whale fall, you could wreck the entire biosphere by messing with the Antarctic.

    Brilliant episode from a brilliant channel. Keep up the great work. I use your videos to teach/entertain my children on these concepts. My younger daughter has your same speech impediment too, and it's inspiring to her how confident you are in your intelligent and digestible delivery. My personal home library grows with your recommendations as well(I couldn't agree more with this epsiode's endorsement of Discworld series). Never stop doing what you do.
