Event in Room: BAC241

The main presentation will be: A Whole World at Your Feet: Arctic Plants by Carolyn Mallory. The talk comprises an introduction to the most common Arctic plants found in Nunavut, their adaptations for survival in the north, and the known traditional knowledge from Inuit elders.

Carolyn Mallory is a writer whose book Common Insects of Nunavut was published in December 2011. It is a follow up to her popular Common Plants of Nunavut, co-written with Susan Aiken, which was just revised and updated in a second edition. She is also hard at work on a picture book for children and a novel. Carolyn travels across the Arctic on a cruise ship in the summer where she lectures and guides people on tundra walks. Carolyn and her husband Mark have recently made the move from Iqaluit to Canada’s East Coast after living in the Arctic for the last twelve years.
