Title:

Assessing changing cryohydrogeologic conditions with locally-relevant landscape indicators in Nunavut, Canada

Agreement Number:

PS-2526-0006

Agreement Value:

$10,000.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026

Description:

This project will combine Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit with permafrost and groundwater science to identify and assess landscape indicators of winter groundwater movement that create hazardous overflow areas along overland travel routes in Nunavut. Through field measurements, water sampling, sensors, and camera monitoring conducted in collaboration with local communities, it will investigate why these hazards occur and how they may change over time. This research aims to improve predictions of travel risks and inform local decision-making in the context of Arctic climate change.
