Thank you.
Thank you to both witnesses for being here today. I'm going to start with Mr. Burgess.
What I want to start with is the fact that, as we know, the Arctic is being impacted by climate change much more than other parts of the world, and those changes, whether from reduction in sea ice or release of methane from melting permafrost, are causing vicious cycles that are affecting the rest of the world.
Your group has gone into this in previous research projects. I would first of all want to know if those research projects are continuing. How do you support those projects? Do you have scientists that do them themselves? Do you use funding for researchers in various countries to do them? What's your model of delivery for that research?
