“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

From Nature Canada on Bluesky:
#Biodiversity is not something distant or abstract. It is a part of us, and we are a part of it. It provides the food we eat, the air we breathe, the #climate that sustains us, and the medicines we rely on every day.

From WWF Canada on Bluesky:
Every year, migratory tundra caribou travel hundreds — sometimes thousands — of kilometres across the Arctic. These are the longest known terrestrial migrations on Earth. But the conditions that once made those journeys so effective are changing.

Iqaluit, NU Iqaluit is seeing a sunny but freezing day. ☀️ High of -13°C, which is actually "mild" for this time of year! Northwest winds at 30 km/h will still give it a sharp edge. Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

Our current Governor General Mary Simon -- Titular Commander of our Armed Forces in the King's adsence -- is Inuk, and grew up in traditional life. (yes, dog sleds, Donald!)
Her Inuk name is: Ningiukudluk
It means: “bossy little old lady”.
I am absolutely sure #TheAmericanFascist would hate her. 👍
She has a long career in Arctic/Inuk/Circumpolar politics. She will be in Nuuk next month to open Canada's new consulate.

Arctic Solidarity. 🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰
For those not familiar, Nunavut is a Canadian territory encompassing most of the Canadian Arctic including Baffin Island where its capital, Iqaluit, is located.
There are deep historic and ancestral ties, but also very current familial ties between Greenlander and Canadian Inuit peoples. There are international flights between Iqaluit and Nuuk.

Cambridge Bay: 🌬️ High pressure is keeping things settled but very cold. We’re at -32°C. It’s quiet on the tundra today—just the sound of the wind. Stay cozy! #CambridgeBay #Nunavut
Iqaluit: ❄️ Blowing snow is reducing visibility around Frobisher Bay. We’re looking at -22°C with a stiff breeze. A great day to stay in and work on some indoor projects. #Iqaluit #Arctic

Iqaluit, NU Highs of -22°C with "Above Normal" trends for the region. 🌨️ A few light flurries moving through Frobisher Bay. It’s a beautiful, stark January day in the capital. #Iqaluit #Nunavut #InuitNunangat

Iqaluit, Nunavut
❄️ A cold one in the capital! Temperatures are ranging between -23°C and -31°C today. We’ve got about an hour of "bright" twilight, so make the most of it! Expect some light drifting snow near the airport. It’s a quiet, frozen Wednesday. Keep the tea brewing and stay warm indoors whenever possible. 🏔️

The Creation of Nunavut: A New Era for Inuit Governance 🏔️❄️
On April 1, 1999, Nunavut officially became Canada’s newest and largest territory, a historic moment for Indigenous self-governance. Iqaluit – "place of many fish" in Inuktitut. is the capital of Nunavut. Nunavut covers 1,836,993.78 km2 (709,267.26 sq mi)[2] of land. 🇨🇦 #Canada #Nunavut #Iqaluit #Thule

Seeds of #Sovereignty: #Indigenous leaders affirm food as a right, a relationship, and a responsibility
Mon, November 10, 2025
#Toronto #Canada - "#RightToFood and four Indigenous-led Community #FoodCentres have released Seeds of Sovereignty, a new living brief that shares stories, truths, and policy recommendations from Indigenous food leaders across the country.
"The document is both a reflection and a call to action. It outlines six key recommendations aimed at strengthening and celebrating Indigenous food sovereignty including the enactment of an #IndigenousFoodSovereigntyAct, reform of food safety and licensing regulations, recognition of Indigenous law as legitimate governance over food systems, and sustained, unrestricted funding aligned with #Seasonal cycles and community leadership.
" 'The Western system limited our imagination,' says Raymond Jordan Johnson-Brown, Indigenous Network Manager at Right To Food. 'Seeds of Sovereignty invites policymakers and partners to step into the imaginary — to reimagine what #equitable food systems look like when led by #IndigenousPeoples.'
"Jolene Andrew, Director of Community Development at #Líl̓wat Community Food Centre, adds: 'We don't need permission — we just need to do it. This brief is a reminder that sovereignty is already being lived in our communities every day.'
"Developed through gatherings in #Iqaluit, #Nunavut (2024) and #Líl̓watNation, #BritishColumbia (2025), Seeds of Sovereignty amplifies the collective voice of Right To Food's Indigenous Community Food Centres and Indigenous Network. It highlights what is already thriving in communities — hunters harvesting country food, youth learning traditional skills, Elders teaching, and families gathering — affirming that food sovereignty is alive.
" 'Our communities are not waiting. We are organizing, harvesting, teaching land-based skills, and pushing policy,' the brief states. 'Food is not a service — it's a right, a relationship, a responsibility.' "
