| Incorporating Climate Change into Land Development | 08-31-2016 |
The Nunavut Climate Change Centre is devoted to including Nunavut communities in their projects and outreach. Over the last few years, we have had |
| 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. |
| How does climate change and vegetation growth affect snow properties and permafrost temperature? | 04-07-2015 |
The properties of snow on the ground change over time and these changes are affected by temperature and wind, i.e. climate. Lemmings live under the snow and need to travel under the snow in search of food in winter. They are therefore sensitive to snow properties and climate change may strongly affect their populations, and of course also the populations of their predators. |
| Glacier Monitoring and Assessment, Penny Ice Cap, Nunavut | 09-16-2015 |
Higher than normal summer temperatures over the past few decades have resulted in increased melt of glaciers and ice caps in the Canadian Arctic, p |
