|---|---|---|
| Cape Bounty Arctic Watershed Observatory (CBAWO), Melville Island | 03-06-2012 |
To determine the impacts of climate change on terrestrial ecosystems and freshwater quality and availability in the High Arctic, we created a water-shed and landscape ecosystem observation network. |
| Sea Ice of the Arctic | 03-06-2012 |
This project brings together key sea ice researchers to examine the processes that cause the observed changes in sea ice dynamic and thermodynamic processes, snow cover, and physical coupling across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere (OSA) interface. |
| Past and present changes to the ocean and sea-ice in the Arctic Archipelago | 03-06-2012 |
The goal of this project is to provide the modelling framework for future impact studies on the Canadian Arctic Archipelago’s pack ice, oceanography and marine food web. |
| Impact of climate change on the life of the Arctic Ocean floor | 03-06-2012 |
Climate warming is driving a rapid transformation of polar ecosystems, and we urgently need to study the vulnerability of seafloor biodiversity to changes that are already underway. |
| Impacts of climate change for the marine Arctic | 03-06-2012 |
Some implications of climate change for the marine Arctic ecosystem are fairly intuitive. For instance, polar bears and ringed seals are bound to be negatively impacted by the loss of ice that provides the physical platform for their hunting and reproduction. Other consequences are less obvious. |
| Research on Arctic marine mammals | 03-06-2012 |
Research on Arctic marine mammals via the collection of detailed empirical information throughout Canadian Arctic marine ecosystems, using a variety of methods including both scientific and local knowledge. |
| Pan-Territorial Adaptation Initiatives | 02-17-2012 |
Addressing climate change and identifying approaches for supporting current and future climate change adaptation projects across the Canadian Arctic. |
