Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6148.
The core objective of this research is to work with Inuvialuit and Gwich’in experts to document local observations of environmental conditions. Specifically, we will use semi-structured interviews and, where possible, land-based observation to document environmental conditions with photographs and videos georeference...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 6130.
This research project aims to develop sea ice information retrieval algorithms for satellite data, for safe sea ice travel needs as identified by Inuit (ice roughness, slush, and ice thickness). Information retrieval methods developed for satellite data will be transferred to prototype image product formats represent...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5619.
The objective of this study is to examine how climate change has impacted lake ecosystems and soils whether the changes follow a similar direction as those observed in Nunavik. Based on the results from Quebec, there should be a northward shift of different types of microalgal communities because of vegetation evolut...
