Climate change has transformed coastal and deltaic environments in the Arctic with warmer temperatures, loss of sea ice, higher water levels, and larger storm events. Coastal retreat rates have been measured over 10 m per year in Canadian Arctic severely affecting Indigenous communities. This paper presents one of the first hydrodynamic models of a...
In 2020, the Hamlet of Kugluktuk initiated efforts to implement a coastal hazard assessment in response to ongoing erosion along the riverbanks of the old cemetery site situated in the delta of the Coppermine River. Additionally, addressing coastal processes along the entire coastline, particularly in the area of the breakwater, was of utmost impor...
In collaboration with local individuals and organizations, this research investigates historical and recent coastal evolution around the Coppermine River Delta, on a yearly- and seasonal-scale. Most of the permafrost shorelines of the studied area are characterized by low tundra bluffs and sandy beaches, composed of deltaic and coastal sediments. A...
The coastal zone is of paramount importance to Inuit Nunangat communities, as these environments are vital to their inhabitant’s way of life and culture. Near Ausuittuq (Jones Sound), deltaic beach ridges host cabins and shelters used for hunting and fishing. Facing declining and unstable sea ice cover and stronger storm impacts during the fall, co...
Most of Inuit Nunangat communities are located in coastal environments of which erosion rates are still unknown. Residents of Kugluktuk report an increase in permafrost degradation and coastal erosion around their community. With the analysis of historical (1952 to 2023) and recent (2021 to 2023) coastal evolution in addition to nearshore hydrodyna...
À l’ouest du Nunavut, l'intensité et la trajectoire des changements géomorphologiques des environnements côtiers demeurent peu connues en raison du manque de données historiques et récentes. Des observations et préoccupations soulevées par des membres de la communauté de Kugluktuk ont mené au développement d’un projet de recherche visant à document...
