Working at the edge of the world
Technology and knowledge have pushed the boundaries of where, when and how we work to extreme environments. Few can be much more extreme than the Antarctic. Increasingly, high-skilled worker (scientists) and operational support teams are spending longer time periods in this environment as they res...

Technology and knowledge have pushed the boundaries of where, when and how we work to extreme environments. Few can be much more extreme than the Antarctic.

It is one thing to prepare and manage a workforce for such extreme working conditions. It is another to explore the way new technologies are impacting on the workforce physically isolated from home and family.
