Summary:
The western Arctic coast is a rapidly changing coastline and one of the most sensitive to climate change in the world. The research objective is to improve our knowledge of physical conditions in the coastal zone in order to help government agencies, corporations, and local residents understand, mitigate and reduce the impacts of natural changes and industrial or community development.
The proj...

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 Ivva...

19931992 Summary:
The researchers will examine the rate of coastal change in the outer Mackenzie Delta region in order to understand the factors contributing to present delta formation and coastal erosion, and to understand how global climate warming may affect coastal change. Surveys on beaches, sand bars and delta lakes will be conducted....
