| How to evaluate climate change adaptation in a permafrost environment: A pilot study in Arviat, Nunavut | Landscape, Permafrost, Security & Safety, Terrestrial Environment | 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. |
| Kangiqtugaapik (Clyde River) Weather Station Network- Silalirijiit Project | Temperature, Weather & Precipitation | 06-12-2013 |

| 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. |
| Snowmelt project | Aquatic Environment, IQ, Temperature, Watershed | 05-22-2015 |
Metal loading and retention in Arctic tundra lakes during spring runoff |
