Automatic weather monitoring stations deployed in arctic regions are usually installed in hard to reach locations. Most of the time they run unsupervised and they face severe environmental conditions: very low temperatures, ice riming, etc. It is usual practice to use a local energy source to...

Evaluating Fish Habitat Compensation in the Canadian Arctic: Stream Habitat Attributes and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages
DownloadFall 2014
Resource development is expanding in Canada, particularly in the Arctic. In Canada, damage to stream ecosystems as a result of development requires habitat restoration or compensation measures. A compensation project, focused on improving ecosystem connectivity and aquatic habitat for fish within...

Searching allows animals to find food, mates, shelter and other resources essential for survival and reproduction and is thus among the most important activities performed by animals. Theory predicts that animals will use random search strategies in highly variable and unpredictable environments....

Evaluating recent advances in active microwave remote sensing for Arctic sea ice monitoring
DownloadFall 2018
The objective of this research was to evaluate recent advances in active microwave remote sensing technologies in order to further refine the optimal radar parameters for sea ice monitoring in support of marine operations and climate research. To achieve this objective, data from recent active...

Fluvial inorganic carbon cycling across divergently evolving permafrost landscapes (Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada)
DownloadFall 2019
Across the circumpolar north, rapid warming and intensifying hydrologic cycles are accelerating permafrost thaw and strengthening land-freshwater linkages. Among the most significant implications of this change is the mobilization of large amounts of previously sequestered organic and inorganic...

Specialist predators with a limited diet may be less adaptable to environmental change than generalists, which consume a diversity of prey. As the climate changes, ecological homogenization is occurring, where generalist species outcompete specialists, reducing ecosystem complexity. In Arctic...

River runoff plays a very important role in the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean accounts for around 1% of the total world ocean volume, but receives around 11% of the worlds river runoff. In addition, the Arctic Ocean is a β ocean, where stratification is primarily determined by salinity as...

Individual variation in on-ice movement dynamics and site fidelity of western Hudson Bay polar bears
DownloadFall 2023
Individual variation affects fundamental aspects of ecology and behaviour in many species. Individuals vary in sex, age, reproductive status, and personality, which can be compared between individuals (inter-individual) or within individuals (intra-individual). In this dissertation, I tested...
