Summary:
The objective of this project is to collect physical and geophysical measurements quantifying permafrost susceptibility to ABoVE's internationally-available dataset. Researchers can access these data to bolster understanding of environmental processes and the ability to remotely-sense these on a regional scale.
Airborne remote sensing missions from August 2017, 2018, and August of 2019 by NASA'...

Summary:
The methods used will be a mixed method approach consisting of literature review, interviews and focus groups. I will also incorporate Indigenous methodology, based on literature written by Indigenous scholars. At this point, it is unclear what that approach will be, though there is the general understanding that everything is related, and effects others in the interconnectedness of the cycle of...

Summary:
The objective of this project is to maintain a community-based monitoring program in the communities of Fort McPherson, Aklavik, and Tsiigehtchic.
Data collected in this community-based monitoring program and other previous research has shown that ocean-migrating broad whitefish use the Peel River as spawning habitat, and that these fish also make extensive migrations between rivers in the lowe...
