As QSs are often keen to tell you, surveyors are having to develop diverse skills in order to survive. But to the best of my knowledge few have yet turned their hand to Arctic exploration - until now. Matt Schaaf, a QS by training and a project manager at Jones Lang LaSalle, has set his sights on a "world first" research expedition in February to one of the last unexplored areas of the Arctic. The intrepid consultant will assist a team of experts conducting climate change research and will also visit the North Pole or "Northern Pole of inaccessibility". Schaaf tells me his QS training will stand him in good stead "in terms of planning, covering risk and attention to detail". Building wishes him luck!
