Effects of climate change on coastal geomorphology and benthic biotic communities, southwestern Banks Island
Principal Investigator: Edinger, Evan N
Licensed Year(s): 2005
Summary: Climate change is affecting coastlines and coastal communities across Arctic Canada. Communities in the Western Arctic, including Sachs Harbour, have described a variety of effects, including warmer temperatures, reduced sea ice thickness, longer duration of open water in summer, increased wave activity, and new or early arrivals of migratory animals. These effects can have a variety of impacts ...


Coastal hazards, relative sea-level change, and climate impacts on northern coasts and seaways
Principal Investigator: Forbes, Donald L
Licensed Year(s): 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001
Summary: This project involves monitoring changes in the coast and refining estimates of land uplift or subsidence using passive geodetic and survey measurements at sites throughout the western Arctic, supported by existing data on coastal submergence and emergence from geological observations. Long-term coastal change under existing climate and sea-level trends will be determined at reference sites of th...
