The word “Nunavut” means “Our Land” in Inuktut, the language of the Inuit, who represent 85 per cent of Nunavut’s resident’s. The creation of Nunavut as Canada’s third territory had its origins in a desire by Inuit got more say in their future. The first formal presentation of the idea – The Nunavut Proposal – was made to Ottawa in 1976. More than two decades later, in February 1999, Nunavut’s first 19 Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) were elected to a five year term. Shortly after, those MLAs chose one of their own, lawyer Paul Okalik, to be the first Premier. The resulting government is a public one; all may vote - Inuit and non-Inuit, but the outcomes reflect Inuit values.

  • Mapping Surficial Materials in Nunavut Using Radarsat-2 C-Hh and C-Hv, Landsat-8 Oli, Dem and Slope Data
    MAPPING SURFICIAL MATERIALS IN NUNAVUT USING RADARSAT-2 C-HH AND C-HV, LANDSAT-8 OLI, DEM AND SLOPE DATA by Justin Thomas Bezanson Byatt BSc Environmental Management, University of New Brunswick, 2014 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Forestry In the Graduate Academy Unit of Forestry and Environmental Management Supervisors: Brigitte Leblon, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Armand LaRocque, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Advisory Committee: Jeff Harris, PhD Isabelle McMartin, PhD, Geological Survey of Canada Examining Board: Fan-Rui Meng, PhD, Forestry and Environmental Management Emmanuel Stefenakis, PhD, GGE This thesis is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK May, 2017 © Justin Thomas Bezanson Byatt, 2017 ABSTRACT The Canadian Arctic is currently the focus of increased mapping activities, which aim to provide better knowledge to assist in making informed decisions for sustainable minerals and energy development, and land-use management. One of the required maps deals with surficial materials. This thesis studies the potential of combining RADARSAT-2 SAR images with Landsat-8 optical data, DEM and slope data to map surficial materials in the region around Wager Bay, Nunavut. Two study areas were selected, one on the northern side of the bay (NTS map areas 046E, K, L, M, 056H, I, J) and another one on the southern side (NTS map sheets 046D, E, 055P, 056A, H). The images were classified using a non-parametric classifier Random Forests. The results show that including RADARSAT-2 images in the classification process increases the overall classification accuracy from 92.8% to 98.1% in the north region and 96.7% to 99.3% in the south region.

  • 198 13. Repulse Bay. This Is an Important Summer Area for Seals
    198 13. Repulse Bay. This is an important summer area for seals (Canadian Wildlife Service 1972) and a primary seal-hunting area for Repulse Bay. 14. Roes Welcome Sound. This is an important concentration area for ringed seals and an important hunting area for Repulse Bay. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 15. Southampton-Coats Island. The southern coastal area of Southampton Island is an important concentration area for ringed seals and is the primary ringed and bearded seal hunting area for the Coral Harbour Inuit. Fisher and Evans Straits and all coasts of Coats Island are important seal-hunting areas in late summer and early fall. Marine traffic, materials staging, and construction of the crossing could displace seals or degrade their habitat. 16.7.2 Communities Affected Communities that could be affected by impacts on seal populations are Resolute and, to a lesser degree, Spence Bay, Chesterfield Inlet, and Gjoa Haven. Effects on Arctic Bay would be minor. Coral Harbour and Repulse Bay could be affected if the Quebec route were chosen. Seal meat makes up the most important part of the diet in Resolute, Spence Bay, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay. It is a secondary, but still important food in Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. Seal skins are an important source of income for Spence Bay, Resolute, Coral Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Arctic Bay and a less important income source for Chesterfield Inlet and Gjoa Haven. 16.7.3 Data Gaps Major data gaps concerning impacts on seal populations are: 1.

BLAKE, JR.* Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Canada 1NTR )I)U TION Most of the determinations reported here were obtained with the 2 L counter described in our first date list ( CSC I ) . All age calculations are based oh a C1 t half-life of 5568 + 30 yr and 0.95 of the activity of the NBS oxalic- acid standard, and the ages are quoted in years before 1950. The age errors include : counting errors of sample, background, and standard, the error in the half-life of C14, and an error term to account for the average variation of :± 1.5/ in the C'4 concentration during the past 1100 yr. `Greater than' ages are based on the 4 rr criterion I GSC I I l . After extensive testing and modification a 5 L counter was brought into routine operation in April, 1961.Its more important counting characteristics are given in Table 1. The background increases somewhat with an increase in pressure, but the C14 and meson plateaus improve. The apparent non-linearity in the counting rate of the standard is probably due to the arbitrary choice of the operating point on the plateau. The counter was constructed from a 51,4 in. 0.1)., in, wall copper tube having an overall length of 20 in. Approx. 30 mils were removed from the inner surface of the tube, by machining on a lathe, to provide a contamination- fre surface.

During 1882-83 eleven countries cooperated in a project to study the geophysics and geodesy of the polar regions by establishing 14 research stations. Three of these were located in Canada’s Arctic: one each by the United States, Germany and Britain. They accumulated dataon terrestial magnetism and boreal phenomena and brought back valuable informationon arctic living. This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the first mathematical work. With his colleague Wilhelm Weber he International Polar Year, probably the most ambitious of established in 1836 the Gottingen Magnetic Union(Mag- 19th-century international scientific projects and the fore- netische Verein) which united a world-wide network of runner of more recent cooperative ventures such as Inter- observatories. Gauss delineated the three categories of national Geophysical Year. Eleven countries launched 14 geomagnetic observations - declination, inclination, and expeditions - 12 in the Arctic and two in the southern intensity - and invented instruments for the accurate hemisphere - and the accumulated data furthered the measurement of these phenomena.He also deviseda sched- world’s knowledge of meteorology, geomagnetism and ule of observations so that data would be collected inthe boreal phenomena.
