Northern Latitudes is a podcast about what happens when we slow down long enough to really pay attention to the landscapes we live in, move through, and depend on.

Hosted by Bill Ault, the show explores the intersection of nature, science, culture, and from across Canada and beyond. Conversations range from ecology and conservation to health, history, outdoor adventure, and the quieter human stories that connect us.

At its core, Northern Latitudes is curious and grounded. It’s about thoughtful conversations with people who spend their lives asking good questions — scientists, authors, researchers, photographers, filmmakers, and advocates who help us see familiar places in new ways.

Episodes often return to a few recurring themes:

  • Our relationship with the natural world
  • How science and lived experience inform each other
  • What it means to live well
  • Why place still matters in an increasingly digital world

Whether recorded in a studio or shaped by time spent outdoors, Northern Latitudes aims to leave space for reflection — and to remind listeners that the stories tied to land, climate, and community are never abstract. They’re personal.

The podcast also features re-broadcasts of past conversations that remain especially relevant, giving listeners a chance to revisit ideas that hold up over time.

Northern Latitudes is for anyone who feels at home outside, values curiosity over certainty, and believes that paying attention is a form of care.

Bruce McLellan - Grizzly Bear Science

Season 1 · Episode 25

lundi 6 novembre 2023Duration 32:38

Coexisting with grizzly bears into the future will be an increasing challenge and require a deep understanding of these large carnivores and what factors make their populations tick. Based on perhaps the longest uninterrupted wildlife research project done by one individual, this is the intertwined story of the science underlying our understanding of grizzly bears and family life in the wilderness while following bears.The story of grizzly bear behaviour and ecology is based on dozens of research papers published in this study, which in turn are based on the actual lives of over 200 radio-collared bears. These chapters are not written “for dummies” but contain considerable substance for people interested in the science behind animal ecology and conservation. The scientific chapters cover topics ranging from the bears’ diet and how it influences changes in body fat and muscle, to how bears are counted and factors that influence births and deaths and regulate population size.Mixed among the science chapters is the story of how a couple in their mid-20s began the Flathead grizzly project, built a log cabin on the bank of the Flathead River, had babies, and raised them in the wilderness among bears, wolves, and mountain lions. They endured floods that washed away part of their camp, forest fires that burned thousands of square miles, and some very weird people. Both children grew up with grizzly bears and eventually earned their own M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in the ecology of these amazing animals.
