I agree, Mr. Bêty. Northern research can't be conducted with Popsicle sticks.
I often bring up the fact that Richard Boudreault, the first chair of Polar Knowledge Canada, said that a country such as Iceland had proportionally many more researchers than Canada, specifically 13 times more researchers per square metre. We could see that some countries had much higher levels of scientific research activity given the financial support provided by their governments. These countries included Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
Based on your expertise, I would like to hear your opinion on this data.
