These five meteorological stations, constructed at Eureka, Resolute, Isachsen, Mould Bay, and Alert, became remote hubs for science and sovereignty, revealing the possibilities and limits of modernity in the High Arctic. Drawing on extensive archival evidence, unpublished personal memoirs, and interviews with former JAWS personnel, this book systematically analyzes the diplomatic, scientific, social, environmental, and civil-military dimensions of this binational program. From the corridors of power in Washington and Ottawa to everyday life at the small outposts, The Joint Arctic Weather Stations explores delicate statecraft, changing scientific practices, as well as the distinctive station cultures that emerged as humans coped with isolation in polar environments. 410 0$aNorthern lights series (Calgary, Alta.) 606 $aInternational law 606 $aMeteorological stations 606 $aScience and state 610 $aCanada-US relations. 610 $aanthropology of science. 610 $aarctic history. 610 $aarctic logistics. 610 $acircumpolar studies. 610 $acold war. 610 $acultures of isolation. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aenvironmental history. 610 $ahistorical geography. 610 $ahistory of science. 610 $aliving in isolation. 610 $ameteorological science. 610 $ameteorology. 610 $apolar geography. 610 $apolar history. 610 $apolar logistics. 610 $ascience diplomacy. 610 $ascientists. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asovereignty. 610 $aweather studies. 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aMeteorological stations. 615 0$aScience and state. 676 $a341 700 $aHeidt$b Daniel$f1985-$01252653 702 $aLackenbauer$b P.
