Multiscale coastal dynamics in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago

FY 2025-26 · 2025-04-01

Summary
The primary goal of this project is to conduct a quantitative analysis of shoreline evolution and future trends while examining the processes driving changes along the coast of southern Victoria Island. This includes a particular focus on hydrodynamic factors such as waves, water levels, and storms, as well as the influence of local coastal permafrost conditions. This project also aims to build local capacity for coastal monitoring in the Arctic, providing communities with the necessary tools and knowledge to address the challenges posed by a changing coastline.

Description (French)
L'objectif principal de ce projet est de réaliser une analyse quantitative de l'évolution du littoral et de ses tendances futures, tout en examinant les processus à l'origine des changements le long de la côte sud de l'île Victoria. Ce projet porte notamment sur les facteurs hydrodynamiques tels que les vagues, les niveaux d'eau et les tempêtes, ainsi que sur l'influence des conditions locales du pergélisol côtier. Ce projet vise également à renforcer les capacités locales de surveillance côtière dans l'Arctique, en fournissant aux communautés les outils et les connaissances nécessaires pour relever les défis posés par l'évolution du littoral.
