Climate Change Projects
Community Research Projects
| Project Title | Project Categories | Post Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Incorporating Climate Change into Land Development | Landscape, Permafrost, Terrestrial Environment | 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 |
| Indigenous Health Adaptation to Climate Change (IHACC) | Health & Disease | 09-16-2015 |
IHACC is a multi-year, trans-disciplinary, community-based initiative working with remote Indigenous populations in the Peruvian Amazon, Canadian A |
| Industrial development and Arctic communities: environmental and social change | Resource Development, Terrestrial Environment, Traditional Activities | 03-06-2012 |
This project will explore the cultural, economic and environmental impacts of mineral exploration and development on four Arctic communities. |
| Instability of coastal landscapes in Arctic communities and regions | Security & Safety, Terrestrial Environment, Weather & Precipitation | 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. |

| Linking changes in the Arctic marine ecosystem to the provisioning of ecosystem services and Inuit wellbeing | Animals, Aquatic Environment, Health & Disease, IQ, Traditional Activities | 02-16-2015 |
Climate change pressures, such as warmer temperatures and sea ice decline, transform the Arctic marine ecosystem and could lead to major shifts in its functioning. This study will combine diverse but complementary methods to study the Arctic marine ecosystem and itsinterconnectedness with Inuit communities in the context of a changing Arctic. |
| Northern Infrastructure Standardization Initiative | Permafrost, Temperature, Weather & Precipitation | 10-07-2019 |
Infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic is being affected by climate change impacts such as permafrost thaw, coastal erosion, and changing temperatur |
