Returning to the Canadian Arctic this Summer

13/1/2021

An article entitled "New ways forward in Canadian Arctic Research" was published in the "The Globe and Mail Canada" journal on January 12. Warwick Vincent (T-MOSAiC co-chair) and other authors are encouraging discussion about returning to research in the North later this year, when it is expected that the pandemic will be more under control. The article can be accessed here.

T-MOSAiC in Science

2/12/2020

Extreme events were observed in summer 2020 throughout the circumpolar Arctic. In this T MOSAiC article, Warwick Vincent and Derek Mueller describe changes taking place along the northern coast of Canada over the last few years in the ‘Last Ice Area’, including collapse of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf (see photo). The thick, persistent sea ice of this area has a strong influence on the coastal terrestrial environment. The article can be downloaded here.

Permafrost Thaw AG at the PermafrostNet Annual Meeting

24/11/2020

The permafrost thaw action group attended the annual meeting of PermafrostNet on November 18 to represent T-MOSAiC. This NSERC network is led by Stephan Gruber and it was very nice and well-organized meeting. We had several people attending our T-MOSAiC break out session with interest about our standardized protocol to measure permafrost thaw.
If you are interested in the protocol at your site, please contact the AG Chairs. Soon a great mobile app for recording data will be released.
