| ArcticNet Integrated Regional Impact Studies (IRIS) | 03-16-2012 |
ArcticNet brings together scientists and managers with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change in the coastal Canadian Arctic. |
| Climate Change Adaptation for Nunavut Decision Makers Course | 03-27-2015 |
This course informs government staff of climate change impacts and how to incorporate climate change into deision-making across all government sectors. |
| How to evaluate climate change adaptation in a permafrost environment: A pilot study in Arviat, Nunavut | 10-04-2016 |
This research created a community-based evaluation framework to monitor and evaluate adaptation projects. Evaluating these projects can help us to learn from and improve projects. The framework was tested in Arviat on the ‘Terrain Analysis in Nunavut’ project, a Government of Nunavut project using satellite radar images to see if the ground is moving to detect permafrost degradation. |
| Instability of coastal landscapes in Arctic communities and regions | 03-06-2012 |
Seasonal changes in the northern landscape, together with extreme weather events, can create instability and hazards, including flooding, landslides, thaw failure and subsidence, coastal ice push, storm surges, and coastal erosion. Our project team is measuring both the drivers of change and the effects of instability in community landscapes at selected sites across the Arctic. |
| Nunavut Climate Change Partnership | 05-27-2016 |
The Nunavut Climate Change Partnership (NCCP) was a collaborative partnership between the Government of Nunavut, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern De |
| 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. |
| Search and Rescue in Nunavut | 08-09-2016 |
This research looks at the causes of search and rescue (SAR) and more broadly unintentional injuries on the land in Nunavut. |
| The emerging Arctic security environment | 03-06-2012 |
Our project examines the fundamental questions: what is Arctic security? What should policy makers anticipate that the circumpolar world will look like in the future, given the various forces that are now transforming this region? |
