  • The Thermal State of Permafrost in Canada – Results from the International Polar Year
    The Thermal State of Permafrost in Canada – Results from the International Polar Year Sharon L. Smith 1, Antoni G. Lewkowicz 2, Christopher R. Burn 3, Michel Allard 4 & Jennifer Throop 2 1Geological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 2Department of Geography, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 3Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 4Centre d’études nordiques, Université Laval, Ste-Foy, Québec, Canada ABSTRACT A snapshot of permafrost thermal state in northern Canada during the International Polar Year was developed with ground temperature measurements from about 170 boreholes. The measurements span a wide range of ecoclimate and geological conditions and are at various elevations. Ground temperatures within the discontinuous permafrost zone are generally above -2°C and range to as low as -15°C in the continuous zone. Permafrost temperatures have generally increased across northern Canada for the past several decades, with greater warming rates occurring north of tree line. Consequently the spatial diversity of permafrost thermal conditions is decreasing over time. RÉSUMÉ Un instantané de l’état thermique du pergélisol dans le nord du Canada au cours de l’Année polaire internationale a été élaboré en utilisant les mesures des températures au sol obtenues d’environ 170 puits. Les mesures couvraient une vaste gamme de conditions écoclimatiques et géologiques et diverses élévations. Les températures au sol au sein de la zone discontinue de pergélisol étaient généralement supérieures à -2°C et descendaient jusqu’à -15°C dans la zone continue. Les températures du pergélisol ont généralement augmenté dans tout le nord du Canada au cours des dernières décennies, les taux de réchauffement les plus marqués étant survenus au nord de la ligne des arbres.

  • Why Do We Use Latitude and Longitude? What Is the Equator?
    Where in the World? This lesson teaches the concepts of latitude and longitude with relation to the globe. Grades: 4, 5, 6 Disciplines: Geography, Math Before starting the activity, make sure each student has access to a globe or a world map that contains latitude and longitude lines. Why Do We Use Latitude and Longitude? The Earth is divided into degrees of longitude and latitude which helps us measure location and time using a single standard. When used together, longitude and latitude define a specific location through geographical coordinates. These coordinates are what the Global Position System or GPS uses to provide an accurate locational relay. Longitude and latitude lines measure the distance from the Earth's Equator or central axis - running east to west - and the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England - running north to south. What Is the Equator? The Equator is an imaginary line that runs around the center of the Earth from east to west. It is perpindicular to the Prime Meridan, the 0 degree line running from north to south that passes through Greenwich, England. There are equal distances from the Equator to the north pole, and also from the Equator to the south pole. The line uniformly divides the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet. Because of how the sun is situated above the Equator - it is primarily overhead - locations close to the Equator generally have high temperatures year round. In addition, they experience close to 12 hours of sunlight a day. Then, during the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes the sun is exactly overhead which results in 12-hour days and 12-hour nights.

  • I. 1. the Influence of Permafrost on Northern Development
    I. 1. THE INFLUENCE OF PERMAFROST ON NORTHERN DEVELOPMENT INTRODUCTION The expansion of settlement from man's early home in the fertile, friendly and protected river valleys of the Middle East has been marked by conquest of one natural obstacle after another. Broad seas, hot, dry deserts, mountain ranges and dense forests each in their turn arrested his progress until new techniques were devised and perfected, and became common knowledge. His invasion of the tropical rainforests was delayed by diseases, and his ventures into the far north - what Stefansson has termed "The .Northward Course of Empire" (1) - were handicapped by severe cold and snow, and by the heavy ice which impeded and damaged his ships. In his long and frequently frustrated efforts to make a home in even the remotest parts of the earth, man has encountered, and eventually learned to deal with, an enormous variety of natural hazards. Perennially frozen ground in the polar regions is one of his most recent natural obstacles. It has become of major importance only in the past few decades, although its existence has long been known. Alexander Mackenzie mentioned it and Jules Verne wrote a novel (2) based in part on it, while the quick-frozen mammoths of Siberia have been a cause of wonder for generations. How was it that such a widespread phenomenon, covering about one-half of Canada and almost as great a proportion of the Soviet Union, should nevertheless have attracted so little attention that until a few years ago it even lacked a commonly accepted English name and is only now being honoured in Canada by a national symposium ? The world population map demonstrates that man has as yet barely reached in any numbers the southern limit of that one-fifth of the land surface underlain by permafrost.

  • Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: a Community-Based Participatory Research
    Community Perspectives of Wellness in Manawan, an Atikamekw First Nation Community in Quebec, Canada: A Community-Based Participatory Research Sonia Périllat-Amédée School of Human Nutrition, McGill University, Montreal April 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Sciences Sonia Périllat-Amédée, April 2020 © Abstract Background: In 2018, the First Nation Atikamekw community of Manawan, in Quebec, participated in a Community Mobilization Training for the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Enhancement of community wellness was chosen as one of the measures to determine the impact of the community mobilization process. Wellness assessments tools tend to focus on measuring wellness at individual levels. Indigenous Peoples understand wellness wholistically and centered on social and natural relationships, and on community, thus wellness assessment should also be centered around these dimensions. Objectives: This research aimed to characterize concepts of wellness from youth, intervention workers, and Elders that could serve for community-specific wellness assessment. Methods: This community-based participatory research project employed concept mapping of wellness statements, which were generated through Photovoice with youth (n=6) and talking circles with intervention workers (n=9) and Elders (n=10). A final set of 84 wellness statements was selected and refined. Participants sorted each statement into thematic groups and rated them based on the priority of addressing the statement and the feasibility of implementing it. Concept maps were created using Concept Systems Global Max software based on sorting proximity and ratings calculations. Participants discussed the results at in-person interpretation sessions and named the wellness concept thematic groups.

  • Crop Production in a Northern Climate Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Plant Production, Jokioinen, Finland
    Crop production in a northern climate Pirjo Peltonen-Sainio, MTT Agrifood Research Finland, Plant Production, Jokioinen, Finland CONCEPTS AND ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS THEMATIC STUDY In this thematic study northern growing conditions represent the northernmost high latitude European countries (also referred to as the northern Baltic Sea region, Fennoscandia and Boreal regions) characterized mainly as the Boreal Environmental Zone (Metzger et al., 2005). Using this classification, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Estonia are well covered. In Norway, the Alpine North is, however, the dominant Environmental Zone, while in Sweden the Nemoral Zone is represented by the south of the country as for the western parts of Estonia (Metzger et al., 2005). According to the Köppen-Trewartha climate classification, these northern regions include the subarctic continental (taiga), subarctic oceanic (needle- leaf forest) and temperate continental (needle-leaf and deciduous tall broadleaf forest) zones and climates (de Castro et al., 2007). Northern growing conditions are generally considered to be less favourable areas (LFAs) in the European Union (EU) with regional cropland areas typically ranging from 0 to 25 percent of total land area (Rounsevell et al., 2005). Adaptation is the process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects, in order to moderate harm or exploit beneficial opportunities (IPCC, 2012). Adaptive capacity is shaped by the interaction of environmental and social forces, which determine exposures and sensitivities, and by various social, cultural, political and economic forces. Adaptations are manifestations of adaptive capacity. Adaptive capacity is closely linked or synonymous with, for example, adaptability, coping ability and management capacity (Smit and Wandel, 2006).

    E DUCATOR GUIDE This guide, and its contents, are Copyrighted and are the sole Intellectual Property of Science North. E DUCATOR GUIDE The Arctic has always been a place of mystery, myth and fascination. The Inuit and their predecessors adapted and thrived for thousands of years in what is arguably the harshest environment on earth. Today, the Arctic is the focus of intense research. Instead of seeking to conquer the north, scientist pioneers are searching for answers to some troubling questions about the impacts of human activities around the world on this fragile and largely uninhabited frontier. The giant screen film, Wonders of the Arctic, centers on our ongoing mission to explore and come to terms with the Arctic, and the compelling stories of our many forays into this captivating place will be interwoven to create a unifying message about the state of the Arctic today. Underlying all these tales is the crucial role that ice plays in the northern environment and the changes that are quickly overtaking the people and animals who have adapted to this land of ice and snow. This Education Guide to the Wonders of the Arctic film is a tool for educators to explore the many fascinating aspects of the Arctic. This guide provides background information on Arctic geography, wildlife and the ice, descriptions of participatory activities, as well as references and other resources. The guide may be used to prepare the students for the film, as a follow up to the viewing, or to simply stimulate exploration of themes not covered within the film.
