Summary: 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...
