Bonnett, Nicole, Birchall, S. Jeff
Recently, humanity has been faced with the complex task of responding to global climate change. Scholars and researchers stress the urgency of climate change mitigation and adaptation, warning decision-makers of the consequences of taking no action. Climate change mitigation is currently grounded...

Myers, Paul G., Ribergaard, Mads H.
A number of recent studies have shown enhanced retreat of tidewater glaciers over much of southern and western Greenland. One of the fastest retreats has occurred at Jakobshavn Isbrae, with the rapid retreat linked to the arrival of relatively warm and saline Irminger water along the west coast...

Water Mass Modification and Mixing Rates in a 1/12 degree Simulation of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago
Download2017-01-01
Hughes, Kenneth G., Klymak, Jody M., Hu, Xianmin, Myers, Paul G.
Strong spatial differences in diapycnal mixing across the Canadian Arctic Archipelago are diagnosed in a 1/128 basin-scale model. Changes in mass flux between water flowing into or out of several regions are analyzed using a volume-integrated advection–diffusion equation, and focus is given to...

Donnelly, Chris, Myers, Paul G.
Objectively analyzed surface hydrographic fields and NCEP–NCAR reanalysis fluxes are used to estimate water mass transformation and formation rates in the Labrador Sea, focusing on Labrador Sea Water (LSW). The authors estimate a mean long-term transformation of between 2.1 ± 0.2 and 3.9 ± 0.3 Sv...

Severson, Meryn, Collins, Damian
This chapter focuses on wellbeing research in health geography and the ways in which health geographers have made important contributions to understanding the socio-spatial and place-based dimensions of wellbeing. We seek to answer two key questions: What is wellbeing? And why is it important? To...

Wildfire risk and response in Jasper National Park, Alberta: Application of an adaptation readiness framework
Download2021-06-23
Halabut, Rechelle, Birchall, S. Jeff
Environmental change associated with warmer temperatures is creating unprecedented conditions in natural regions and ecosystems. In Jasper National Park, Alberta, climate change, historical fire management practices, and the mountain pine beetle infestation are combining to increase the risk of a...

Wind-forced depth-dependent currents over the eastern Beaufort Sea continental slope: Implications for Pacific water transport
Download2018-01-01
Dmitrenko, Igor A., Kirillov, Sergei A., Myers, Paul G., Forest, Alexandre, Tremblay, Bruno, Lukovich, Jennifer V., Gratton, Yves, Rysgaard, Soren, Barber, David G.
Pacific water contributes significantly to the Arctic Ocean freshwater budget. Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux, also affected by the Pacific-derived Arctic water, impact the Atlantic overturning circulation with implications for global climate. The interannual variability of the...

Drawing together literatures related to these three concepts, this discussion paper presents a theoretical framework to guide collaborative research projects undertaken over the next four years. In the sections that follow, these three concepts are first defined and then applied to Canada’s...
