I'm with the University of Maine Division of Marketing & Communications. We're currently cutting together a video segment on an expedition our Climate Change Institute researchers took with the National Geographic trip to the top of Mount Everest to conduct science research. Would it be possible to gain permission to use excerpts from this film clip in our video? Please let me know what's possible at your earliest convenience. Thank you!
