Objectif(s): To understand coastal processes and predict the effects of changing climate on the Canadian Beaufort Sea coast.
Description du projet: The Coastal Impacts project on the Beaufort Sea coast has two complementary objectives: 1. To improve our understanding of coastal processes; 2. To develop methods for prediction of coastal impacts of changing climate. Field work will be performed in the modern Mackenzie Delta, along the Tuktoyaktuk Peninsula coast, and at North Head if time permits. Collaborative field work in Ivvavik National Park along the Yukon coast is also planned, as is very limited aerial photography if resources permit. The field work will concentrate on revisiting sites which were investigated in the past several years to look for changes that can be related to changing environmental parameters such as storms, floods, etc. We will also be observing the recovery of eroded areas affected by the fall 1993 storm. Erosion will be measured at GSC monitoring sites (Tent, Ellice, and Taglu Islands, North Head, Tuktoyaktuk, Tibjak Poin... Plus de résultats
