The EU-funded Arctic PASSION project is co-creating an observing system that better tuned to deliver on the needs of societies, and enables a more holistic approach monitoring environmental changes support decision making at local, national international levels. Indigenous communities northern are engaged in these activities which involve consideration high quality, science-based Earth observation information, consented Knowledge (IK) Local (LK).We will showcase our co-creation...
Arctic observing and data systems have been widely recognized as critical infrastructures to support decision making understanding across sectors in the globally. Yet due broad persistent issues related coordination, deployment infrastructure technology gaps, remains among most poorly observed regions on planet from standpoint of conventional systems. Sustaining Observing Networks (SAON) was initiated 2011 address shortcomings coordination observations that are maintained by its many...

Abstract Recent trends and climate models suggest that the Arctic summer sea ice cover is likely to be lost before interventions can stabilize it. There are environmental, socioeconomic, sociocultural arguments for, but also against, restoring sustaining current conditions. Even if global warming reversed, some people will experience ice‐free summers perennial begins return. We ask: How future generations feel about bringing back where they have not experienced it before? conflicted...
In this perspective on the future of Arctic, we explore actions taken to mitigate warming and adapt change since Paris agreement temperature threshold that should not be exceeded in order avoid dangerous interference with climate system. Although 5 years may seem too short a time for implementation major interventions, it actually is considerable span given urgency at which must act if want crossing 1.5 <2 °C global threshold. Actions required include co-production research exploring...
Abstract In the Canadian Arctic, there are three groups of mammals that were commonly exploited by prehistoric peoples. These pinnipeds (seals and walrus), various whales including beluga bowhead, terrestrial herd species, caribou musk ox. The ringed seal is ubiquitous in region available for hunting year round. other species spatially and, many instances, numerically seasonally restricted. Archaeological data from all periods human occupation (2500 bc to recent past) indicate was long‐term...
The Holocene zooarchaeological record of the subarctic and Arctic can be used to aid in conservation management marine mammals. A synthesis selected data indicates that there have been significant changes species ranges, northern ecosystems varied temporally spatially, sea ice extent may accessible through retrospective research. Despite some limitations, analysis faunal collections from regionally appropriate coastal prehistoric historic-era archaeological sites provide baseline information...
Deglaciation at the end of Pleistocene initiated major changes in ocean circulation and distribution. Within a brief geological time, large areas land were inundated by sea-level rise today global sea level is 120 m above its minimum stand during last glacial maximum. This was era modern shelf formation; climate change caused coastal plain flooding created broad continental shelves with innumerable consequences to marine terrestrial ecosystems human populations. In Alaska, Bering Sea nearly...
A comparison of identified faunal assemblages from the Dorset site Phillip’s Garden indicates that harp seal hunting was main focus activity throughout site’s occupation. Despite highly specialized nature use, it appears reliance on decreased over time while fish and birds became increasingly important. These changes may reflect longer seasonal occupations at in later centuries, and/or a decrease local availability seal. The observed shift coincides with onset climatic warming trend, which...

Arctic environmental changes already impact regional ecosystems, economies and northern communities, are having increasing influence on many aspects of the global system. Interest in has increased concert with our improved awareness potential changes; however, research funding not necessarily kept pace need to improve understanding system change inform evidence-based decision making.

Sea ice throughout the Arctic is undergoing profound and rapid change. While conditions in Canadian Archipelago have historically been more stable than open ocean, a growing body of evidence indicates that major thoroughfares much western central Arctic, including Northwest Passage, are increasingly vulnerable to climatic forcing events. This confirmed by observations Inuit elders experienced hunters communities Cambridge Bay, hamlet along Dease Strait, Kugluktuk, situated at mouth...
This paper presents new data on ringed seal hunting in the Early Palaeoeskimo period (ca. 4000–3500 B.P.) eastern Canadian Arctic. Skeletal age schedules, thin sections of canine teeth and skeletal element frequency analysis, provides means to reconstruct specific strategies, especially as regards selection particular classes, season hunt, locations for hunting. The zooarchaeological indicate a human predation pattern similar winter polar bears. Most remains are from seals between ages four...
