It was prepared under the direction of the Canadian National Committee for the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (CNC/IUGG). The CNC/IUGG is administered by the Canadian Geophysical Union, in consultation with the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society and other Canadian scientific organizations, including the Canadian Association of Physicists, the Geological Association of Canada, and the Canadian Institute of Geomatics. The IUGG adhering organization for Canada is the National Research Council of Canada. Among other duties, the CNC/IUGG is responsible for: • collecting and reconciling the many views of the constituent Canadian scientific community on relevant issues • identifying, representing, and promoting the capabilities and distinctive competence of the community on the international stage • enhancing the depth and breadth of the participation of the community in the activities and events of the IUGG and related organizations • establishing the mechanisms for communicating to the community the views of the IUGG and information about the activities of the IUGG. The aim of this report is to communicate to both the Canadian and international scientific communities the research areas and research progress that has been achieved in geodesy and geophysics over the last four years.

Ma old Pingualuit Crater Lake known as the “Crystal Eye of Nunavik” offer the unique opportunity to study terrestrial climate dynamics not only during the postglacial period, but over several hundreds of thousands of years as its deep sediment infill yields an uninterrupted arctic paleoclimate record. The Pingualuit meteoritic crater (Nunavik, Canada; 61o17' N, 73o41' W) is located in the northernmost part of the Ungava Peninsula in northern Quebec - close to the area where the Laurentide Ice Sheet reached maximum thickness during the last (Wisconsinan) glaciation. In May, 2007 ~10 m of sediments was recovered from the crater lake at a water depth of 270 m using a UWITEC piston percussion corer system.
