Megacrystic (>1 cm) clinopyroxene (Cr-diopside) and garnet (Cr-pyrope) xenocrysts within kimberlites from Lac de Gras (Northwest Territories, Canada) contain fully crystallized melt inclusions. These ‘polymineralic inclusions’ have previously been interpreted to form by necking down of melts at...

Across the globe, the need to adapt is urgent. Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to climate stressors such as rising sea levels and erosion, while more extreme and variable weather events interact to accentuate risk. While local governments are increasingly recognized as a central...

Holdsworth, Amber M., Myers, Paul G.

The influence of high-frequency atmospheric forcing on the circulation of the North Atlantic Ocean with emphasis on the deep convection of the Labrador Sea was investigated by comparing simulations of a coupled ocean–ice model with hourly atmospheric data to simulations in which the...

This study examines extent and quality of climate adaptation integration within strategic plans of local governments in British Columbia, Canada. Strategic plans (n=39) were assessed using plan content analysis in order to understand whether regional planning leads to adaptation action by...

Laakso, K., Turner, D.J., Rivard, B., Sánchez-Azofeifa, A.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of metals essential to high technology industries. This high demand, combined with a high supply risk, has led to an understanding that REEs are critical to society. Despite the potential that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) data offers for a fast and...

Opal‐A, the main component of siliceous sinters in many terrestrial hydrothermal systems, is a hydrated silicate that commonly incorporates silicified microorganisms. The detection of opal‐A on the surface of Mars, therefore, may carry important implications in the search for extraterrestrial...

Historically, governmental responses to homelessness in Canada have defaulted to the most basic of services such as food and shelter. Even under exceptional circumstances, such as the current coronavirus pandemic, governments still demonstrate reluctance to guarantee permanent, adequate and...

Sea ice thickness evolution within the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is of great interest to science, as well as local communities and their economy. In this study, based on the NEMO numerical framework including the LIM2 sea ice module, simulations at both 1/4 and 1/12◦ horizontal resolution...

Climate change is among the most critical challenges facing local government decision-makers in the north. Yet while risk is clear, with climate impacts occurring there more rapidly than many regions on Earth, integrated policy and planning for climate adaptation often remains a low priority for...

Icebergs represent approximately half of Greenland’s yearly mass loss, having important implications for biological productivity, freshwater fluxes in the ocean, and navigation. This study applies an iceberg model that uses integrated ocean fields (from surface to iceberg keel) to simulate the...
