Objective(s): To continue to provide mesoscale resolution of climate and climatic influences;

Project Description: The Research team will study climate using information from permanent weather stations. They will continue to set up and monitor automatic weater stations. Local environments of the interior of Baffin Island will be investigated to see how the climate and vegetation have responded during times of great change in the earth's climate, such as the end of the last ice age and the warmer period that followed.
