  • Changes in Glacier Facies Zonation on Devon Ice Cap, Nunavut, Detected

Glacier ice, saturation/percolation and pseudo dry 13 snow zones are readily distinguishable in the satellite imagery, and the superimposed ice zone can 14 be mapped after comparison with ground measurements. Over the study period there has been a 15 clear upglacier migration of glacier facies, resulting in regions close to the firn line switching from 16 being part of the accumulation area with high backscatter to being part of the ablation area with 17 relatively low backscatter. This has coincided with a rapid increase in positive degree days near 18 the ice cap summit, and an increase in the glacier ice zone from 71% of the ice cap in 2005 to 92% 19 of the ice cap in 2011. This has significant implications for the area of the ice cap subject to 20 meltwater runoff.

Predicting the velocity response of glaciers to increased surface melt is a major topic of ongoing research with significant implications for accurate sea-level rise forecasting. In this study we use optical and radar satellite imagery as well as comparisons with historical ground measurements to produce a multi-decadal record of ice velocity variations on Penny Ice Cap, Baffin Island. Over the period 1985–2011, the six largest outlet glaciers on the ice cap decelerated by an average rate of − − 21 m a 1 over the 26 year period (0.81 m a 2), or 12% per decade. The change was not monotonic, however, as most glaciers accelerated until the 1990s, then decelerated. A comparison of recent imagery with historical velocity measurements on Highway Glacier, on the southern part of Penny Ice − Cap, shows that this glacier decelerated by 71% between 1953 and 2009–11, from 57 to 17 m a 1.

  • Elevation Changes of Ice Caps in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago W
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 109, F04007, doi:10.1029/2003JF000045, 2004 Elevation changes of ice caps in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago W. Abdalati,1 W. Krabill,2 E. Frederick,3 S. Manizade,3 C. Martin,3 J. Sonntag,3 R. Swift,3 R. Thomas,3 J. Yungel,3 and R. Koerner4 Received 17 April 2003; revised 19 July 2004; accepted 8 September 2004; published 20 November 2004. [1] Precise repeat airborne laser surveys were conducted over the major ice caps in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in the spring of 1995 and 2000 in order to measure elevation changes in the region. Our measurements reveal thinning at lower elevations (below 1600 m) on most of the ice caps and glaciers but either very little change or thickening at higher elevations in the ice cap accumulation zones. Recent increases in precipitation in the area can account for the slight thickening where it was observed but not for the thinning at lower elevations. For the northern ice caps on the Queen Elizabeth Islands, thinning was generally <0.5 m yrÀ1, which is consistent with what would be expected from the warm temperature anomalies in the region for the 5 year period between surveys, and appears to be a continuation of a trend that began in the mid-1980s. Farther south, however, on the Barnes and Penny ice caps on Baffin Island, this thinning was much more pronounced at over 1 m yrÀ1 in the lower elevations. Here temperature anomalies were very small, and the thinning at low elevations far exceeds any associated enhanced ablation.

  • Movements and Habitat Use of Muskoxen on Bathurst, Cornwallis
    MOVEMENTS AND HABITAT USE OF MUSKOXEN (Ovibos moschatus) ON BATHURST, CORNWALLIS, AND DEVON ISLANDS, 2003-2006 Morgan Anderson1 and Michael A. D. Ferguson Version: 23 December 2016 1Department of Environment, Government of Nunavut, Box 209 Igloolik NU X0A 0L0 STATUS REPORT 2016-08 NUNAVUT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT WILDLIFE RESEARCH SECTION IGLOOLIK, NU i Summary Eleven muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) were fitted with satellite collars in summer 2003 to investigate habitat preferences and movement parameters in areas where they are sympatric with Peary caribou on Bathurst, Cornwallis, and Devon islands. Collars collected locations every 4 days until May 2006, with 4 muskoxen on Bathurst Island collared, 2 muskoxen collared on Cornwallis Island, and 5 muskoxen collared on western Devon Island. Only 5-29% of the satellite locations were associated with an estimated error of less than 150 m (Argos Class 3 locations). Muskoxen in this study used low-lying valleys and coastal areas with abundant vegetation on all 3 islands, in agreement with previous studies in other areas and Inuit qaujimajatuqangit. They often selected tussock graminoid tundra, moist/dry non-tussock graminoid/dwarf shrub tundra, wet sedge, and sparsely vegetated till/colluvium sites. Minimum convex polygon home ranges representing 100% of the locations with <150 m error include these movements between core areas, and ranged from 233 km2 to 2494 km2 for all collared muskoxen over the 3 years, but these home ranges include large areas of unused habitat separating discrete patches of good habitat where most locations were clustered. Several home ranges overlapped, which is not surprising, since muskoxen are not territorial.

  • Canadian Arctic
    Compendium of research undertaken in Nunavut 2008 Nunavut Research Institute FORWARD 1 The Nunavut Research Institute was created in 1995 when the Science Institute of the NWT was divided into eastern and western operations. In the eastern arctic, the re-named institute was amalgamated with the Nunavut Arctic College. The Nunavut Research Institute focuses on supporting scientific research and the development of technology across a broad spectrum of issues and concerns. The Institute’s interpretation of research is broad, incorporating Inuit Qaujimanituqangit, social sciences, and natural sciences. The following mission statement guides the activities and services provided by the Institute: The mission of the Nunavut Research Institute is to provide leadership in the development, facilitation and promotion of Inuit Qaujimanituqangit, science, research and technology as a resource for the well being of the people of Nunavut. Institute services are guided by the core values of Nunavut Arctic College – strong communities, cultural appropriateness, partnerships, quality, access, responsiveness and life-long research, which is linked to community needs, and making greater use of the Inuit Qaujimanituqangit in research projects. This compendium of research has been produced as part of the Institute’s effort to communicate information about research projects recently undertaken in Nunavut under the authority of the Nunavut Scientists Act.
