Glacier Change at Auyuittuq & Sirmilik National Parks 1960-2023
FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-15
Summary
This contribution will support the Project “Glacier Change at Auyuittuq and Sirmilik National Parks 1960-2023”. The Project aims to conduct Bylot and Baffin Islands glacier mass balance measurements from 2022-2025 and reconstruct past glacier volume data. The contribution will: help to fill historical glacier mass balance data gaps; assess future methods to measure glacier mass balance; contribute new mass balance estimates for the World Glacier Monitoring Service to predict northern landscape changes in the south eastern Canadian Arctic; and identify potential natural hazards for adjacent communities and park visitors in Auyuittuq and Sirmilik National Parks.

Description (French)
Cette contribution soutiendra le projet "Changements dans les glaciers des parcs nationaux Auyuittuq et Sirmilik 1960-2023". Ce projet vise à effectuer des mesures pour réaliser un bilan de masse (2022 à 2025) et pouvoir reconstruire les données volumétriques historiques de glaciers se trouvant sur l’Île Bylot et l’Île de Baffin. Cette contribution servira notamment à: aider à combler les lacunes dans les données historiques de bilan de masse des glaciers; évaluer de nouvelles méthodes pour mesurer le bilan de masse des glaciers; partager de nouveaux estimés de bilans de masse au World Glacier Monitoring Service qui serviront à prédire les changements dans le paysage nordique de l’Arctique canadien du sud-est et identifier les risques naturels pour les communautés locales et les visiteurs des parcs nationaux Auyuittuq et Sirmilik.
