By CRAIG GILBERT Flying 15000 kilometres from a temperate coastal cli- mate to the most unforgiving placeontheplanet20-some- thing graduate student Ian Stirling wanted it bad. It was almost 50 years ago that the man who would be- come Dr. Stirling a world- renowned authority on polar bears and polar ice-breeding seals the rst researcher to connect the decline of a polar bear subpopulation and cli- mate warming could not nd ajobinhiseldinCanada.So with an M.Sc from the Uni- versityofBritishColumbiaoff he went to the bottom of the earth a virtual desert where temperatures colder than -91C have been recorded to study the population ecology of Weddell seals. In doing so he earned his PhD from the Canterbury University in Christchurch New Zealand in 1969 before returning to Canadain1970whenhetook the helm of the Polar Bear Project at Environment Can- adas Canadian Wildlife Ser- vice a position he held until 2007 he remains involved as an emeritus scientist. It all came full circle when on Dec. 9 Stirling received the 50000 Weston Family Prize for Lifetime Achieve- ment in Northern Research from the W. Gareld Weston Foundation at the ArcticNet annual scientic meeting in Vancouver. The conference brought together 650 leading Arctic researchers students indig- enous leaders policy makers northern community mem- bers and private sector rep- resentatives to address the numerous environmental social economical and politi- cal challenges and opportu- nities that are emerging from climate change and modern- ization in the Arctic. Its a little overwhelming Stirling told the Journal last week. Most scientists dont ever think of these things but Ive always felt talking to the public and the media or schools was really impor- tant. I usually try and steer the conversation away from myself to the polar bears or the seals or the walruses or whatever it is the reporter happened to be interested in because those are the things that are important in the big picture. In laymans terms Stirling has been studying the popu- lation dynamics and ecology of polar bears in relation to seals which they eat to live and changes in sea ice which they need to be able to hunt. Stirlingestimatesthatabout half of the polar bear popu- lation around the circumpo- lar Arctic could disappear by 2050 to 2060 if climate warming continues as is cur- rently projected with the last survivorsexpectedtobeinthe northern Canadian Arctic is- landsandGreenland.Ofthe19 differentpolarbearsubpopu- lations around the world all but six are in Canada. When climate starts to warm and ice starts to melt and starts affecting the re- production and survival of seals and access by bears to the seals in particular you start seeing some very large changes Stirling explained. In the NWT youre right on the edge of where the ef- fectsaregettingreallysigni- cant.Climatechangeisahuge globalproblemofcoursebut the rate of climate change is double in the Arctic what it is everywhere else. It has ef- fects on the way of life of all the people that live there in absolutely profound ways. LookatatownlikeTuk.Every timetheresamajorstormthey lose 10 or 20 feet of the shore- front.Theyveactuallymoved a couple of villages in Alaska that were on the lost-shore is- lands and theyre going to be moving some more at a cost of tens or hundreds of mil- lionsofdollars.Itsnotcheap. A legacy of learning Stirling who lives with his wife and children in Edmon- tonisrankedbyhiscolleagues as one of the best researchers in the eld of marine mam- mal ecology according to the Weston Foundation. Over the last 50 years he has authored or co-authored more than 300 scientific articles and published ve non-technical books for the general public. Dr. Stirlings rigorous re- searchhasledtondingsthat are signicant to the preser- vation and management of ArcticmarinemammalsGe- ordie Dalglish director of the WestonFoundationandchair of its Northern Committee said.Wearedeeplyhonoured to award him in recognition of his signicant contribu- tion to our understanding of Canadas North. His most cherished legacy isthegenerationsofscientists he helped train as an adjunct professor at the University of Albertafrom1979on.Thejob was unpaid but he accepted it so he could involve young Canadian students and give them the opportunity to do Arctic research in the eld. Asaneducatorandamen- tor Dr. Stirling has inspired early-career scholars from undergraduate and graduate students to postdoctoral fel- lows to pursue and persevere innorthernresearchAssoci- ationofCanadianUniversities forNorthernStudiespresident Monique Bernier said. Many of his former students now live in the North where they occupy positions as govern- ment biologists or managers. He is highly respected in the Northduetohisconsideration of indigenous knowledge his support for co-management with northern communities and his role as an advocate for the Arctic. Stirling credits the Weston Foundation for taking a big step forward in 2007 and funding a range of new schol- arshipsforstudentsresearch projects and conferences like the one in Vancouver where he received his award. Maybe one of the most important of any legacies I might be leaving is the num- ber of students Ive trained he said. It would be hard to nd anything that was much morerewardingthanthat.Its sortoflikewatchingyourown kids be successful. For Stirling now 74 fresh eyesandhungrymindsareal- wayswelcomeonthefrontier. If a good student isnt hav- inganewideaeveryotherday orsothentheyrenotthinking about stuff enough Stirling said. One of the things I al- ways found with having good students around is that I was never short of things to think about. It was really exciting. Legacy award for every polar bears best friend Dr. Ian Stirling has been recognized for decades of research on polar bears and the Arctic with a lifetime achievement award. PhotocourtesyofIanStirling
