Research History
Since 2004, ArcticNet has been conducting research in Canada’s coastal Arctic with the goal of translating our growing understanding of the changing environment into regional impact assessments, national policies and adaptation strategies. Over 150 researchers and 1000 graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, technicians and other specialists from 34 Canadian universities and numerous federal, provincial and regional departments and agencies collaborate on 41 ArcticNet research projects with over 150 partner organizations from 14 countries.
Current Projects
ArcticNet’s 41 research projects focus on five main themes: marine systems; terrestrial systems; Inuit health, education and adaptation; northern policy and development and knowledge transfer.
