An assessment of systems, agents, and institutions in building community resilience to climate change: A case study of Charlottetown, Canada
Download2022-01-01
Birchall, S. Jeff, MacDonald, Seghan, Bara, Nicklas N.
While climate change manifests itself as a global phenomenon, impacts are experienced most acutely at the local scale. As a result, the onus of responding to climate change impacts through planning policies and practice falls on local government decision-makers. This qualitative study, based in...

Jackson, Jennifer M., Myers, Paul G., Ianson, Debby
Horizontal advection has been assumed negligible within the Alaskan Gyre (AG). With the recently available Argo data this assumption can be tested. To estimate advection, the observed heat content (estimated from Argo data) was compared to the expected (based on surface heat fluxes) and the...

Myers, Paul G., Li, Michelle, Freeland, Howard
Mixed layer depth (MLD) is computed, based upon historical measurements along Line P, in the Gulf of Alaska. Forty-six years of data are used for the monthly climatological calculations. To examine variability, the data are divided into two periods, pre and post 1976. Mixed layers deepen in...

Birchall, S. Jeff, MacDonald, Seghan, Slater, Tara
As climate change progresses, local governments are being forced to find ways to adapt to worsening environmental, economic, and infrastructure impacts. The city of Fredericton, New Brunswick has a long history of river and overland flooding; however, more recent changes in local weather patterns...

Application of Airborne, Laboratory, and Field Hyperspectral Methods to Mineral Exploration in the Canadian Arctic: Recognition and Characterization of Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide-Associated Hydrothermal Alteration in the Izok Lake Deposit Area, Nunavut, Canada
Download2022-02-28
Laakso, K.,, Rivard, B.,, Peter, J.M., White, H.P., Maloley, M., Harris, J., Rogge, D.
We have investigated the application of ground, laboratory, and airborne optical remote sensing methods for the detection of hydrothermal alteration zones associated with the Izok Lake volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposit in Nunavut, Canada. This bimodal-felsic Zn-Cu-Pb-Ag deposit is...

Muilwijk, Morven, Ilicak, Mehmet, Cornish, Sam B., Danilov, Sergey, Gelderloos, Renske, Gerdes, Rudiger, Haid, Verena, Haine, Thomas W. N., Johnson, Helen L., Kostov, Yavor, Kovacs, Tamas, Lique, Camille, Marson, Juliana M., Myers, Paul G., Scott, Jeffery, Smedsrud, Lars H., Talandier, Claude, Wang, Qiang
Multimodel Arctic Ocean “climate response function” experiments are analyzed in order to explore the effects of anomalous wind forcing over the Greenland Sea (GS) on poleward ocean heat transport, Atlantic Water (AW) pathways, and the extent of Arctic sea ice. Particular emphasis is placed on the...

Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) hatching in the Hudson Bay system: Testing of the freshwater winter refuge hypothesis
Download2022-01-01
Schembri, Sarah, Deschepper, Inge, Myers, Paul G., Sirois, Pascal, Fortier, Louis, Bouchard, Caroline, Maps, Frederic
Buoyant Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) eggs are found at the surface or at the ice-water interface in winter. While winter temperatures in saline waters fall below 0 degrees C, the temperature in areas affected by under-ice river plumes is slightly higher. Under-ice river plumes may therefore...

Assessing the Role of High-Frequency Winds and Sea Ice Loss on Arctic Phytoplankton Blooms in an Ice-Ocean-Biogeochemical Model
Download2019-01-01
de la Guardia, L. Castro, Garcia-Quintana, Y., Claret, M., Hu, X., Galbraith, E. D., Myers, Paul G.
The long-term trend of increasing phytoplankton net primary production (NPP) in the Arctic correlates with increasing light penetration due to sea ice loss. However, recent studies suggest that enhanced stormy wind mixing may also play a significant role enhancing NPP. Here, we isolate the role...

Barbedo, Lucas, Belanger, Simon, Lukovich, Jennifer V., Myers, Paul G., Tremblay, Jean-Eric
Pulses of ocean primary productivity during the fall season are frequent in the mid-latitudes when ocean cooling and wind-driven turbulence erode the surface stratification and allow the injection of nutrients into the euphotic zone. This phenomenon is often referred to as a phytoplankton fall...

Dmitrenko, Igor A., Myers, Paul G., Kirillov, Sergei A., Babb, David G., Volkov, Denis L., Lukovich, Jennifer V., Tao, Ran, Ehn, Jens K., Sydor, Kevin, Barber, David G.
Hudson Bay of northern Canada receives upward of 700 km3 of river discharge annually. Cyclonic water circulation in Hudson Bay transports this massive volume of riverine water along the coast toward Hudson Strait and into the Labrador Sea. However, synoptic, seasonal and interannual variability...
