it wasn't clear what the exact allegations were
The investigator has not yet told him of the specific charges or questions related to the scientific integrity of his work
the investigation will likely fuel the ongoing fight between climate change activists and those who are sceptical of scientists' findings
they were conducting an aerial survey of bowhead whales, and saw four dead polar bears floating in the water after a storm. They detailed their observations in an article
They said their observations suggested the bears drowned in rough seas and high winds. They also added that the findings "suggest that drowning-related deaths of polar bears may increase in the future if the observed trend of regression of pack ice and/or longer open water periods continues."
I'm disappointed that educated people can't read such an article critically and see through the propaganda. I'm not saying anything about people who do or don't believe in anthropomophic climate change, but I would think that people who have had a higher level of education or work at that level would be able to analyse the article and spot the deceptions.
Very disappointing indeed.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

As the inactivists have comprehensively lost the argument they are resulting to increasingly desparate tactics, such as harrassment by bogus fishing expeditions. The biologist being investigated has not been informed of the 'offence' so we have no idea whether it relates to his polar bear work, still

and they never explain why the poor old polar bear cant survive this .1 degree of warming when they managed to survive previous, truly warm periods.
the bears may face difficulties, human caused no doubt, but runaway global warming of .1 degree is not one of them

Also, at night you could pull up the drawbridge and not worry much about burglars.
