"A scenario roughly representative of current global #climate policies in which global emissions of #greenhousegases stabilize and then decline towards the end of the century corresponds to a future climate for #Canada that is far from benign. Under this scenario, Canada is projected to warm through the century, with an average temperature increase (mean estimate) of 5°C by 2081 to 2100 relative to 1850 to 1900, while there is a greater than 50% chance that warming will exceed 10°C in much of #Nunavut in winter."

Just landed down south in Iqaluit, which was interesting. Walked in the hotel room and got a call that there’s a bear at the cabin. Father-in-law is trying to scare it away. #Nunavut #CabinLife

“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…”

Went to the cabins tonight to do a cleanup. Lots of stuff scattered by the wind including the pan from the fire pit. Wanted to move it so I did, and burnt some wood scraps. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Most of our flowering plants colonized the north Baffin after the last ice age. As the ice retreated the plants followed it north. But three of our flowers survived the ice age here and reestablished populations. They are Vaux’s Cinquefoil, Pallas Wallflower, and this beauty, Silvery Oxytrope. One of the best places to find it is at our cabin. #Nunavut #CabinLife #Wildflowers

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.

Taken stuff out to the cabin yesterday and this is where we got stuck. Got out, and then stuck again, headed back and switched to snowmobiles. Looks like the days of driving there are done for the year. #CabinLife #Nunavut

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. 🏔️

#FossilAdventCalendar Day 24
Our journey #north ends with one of the most important #fossils ever found. Like Puijila, Tiktaalik roseae is known from #Nunavut 🇨🇦, has an #Inuktitut name (meaning "large freshwater #fish"), and records an important #evolutionary transition, this time from #sea to #land. #Tiktaalik shares traits with both fish and #tetrapods, making it a close relative of all of us land-living #vertebrates. This replica and model are from the #CanadianMuseumOfNature.

#FossilAdventCalendar Day 23
#FossilFridayThe #Canadian 🇨🇦 #Arctic has yielded some especially important #fossils documenting major #evolutionary changes. This 3D-printed replica of a #fossil from #Nunavut and displayed in the #CanadianMuseumOfNature is one of these. It's Puijila darwini, whose name means "young sea #mammal" in #Inuktitut. It looks like an otter, but it's one of the earliest relatives of #seals and #sealions - with still-functional hands and feet, unlike modern #pinnipeds.
