Climate change and the potential socio-economic effects on communities resulting from reducing winter road access
Principal Investigator: English, Michael C
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4952. The overall goal of this research project is to evaluate how citizens of two Northwest Territory communities, Wekweeti and Aklavik, view the vulnerability of the winter roads serving each community to climate warming and how these impacts may affect community well being with respect to socio-economics and culture. Ove...

Rural Resources and Political Power: Understanding Incentive Structures, Local Agency, and Oil Development in the Northwest Territories and Alaska
Principal Investigator: Schober, Kelsey
Licensed Year(s): 2020
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4612. Oil has driven migration, community growth, and governance of the last century in the Arctic. However, as Arctic global warming surpasses 1°C with “profound consequences”, the relationship between oil and climate change becomes increasingly contentious and impossible to ignore. In light of this tension, my research as...
