Amidst these changes, there is increasing pressure for resource extraction, including critical minerals for global transitions to low-carbon economies. - [Finding North - Susan Nerberg](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/finding-north/) - What’s the meaning of “north”? Canadians tend to think of themselves as northern, yet most of us are clustered between the 42nd and 49th parallels, latitudes that aren’t even in the boreal region. What does this do to our perception of the North and to our understanding of Canada? - [Centering Arctic Knowledge in Climate & Security Cooperation With Melody Brown Burkins](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/centering-arctic-knowledge-in-climate-security-cooperation-with-melody-brown-burkins/) - The Arctic region is warming several times faster than the rest of the planet, imperiling Arctic communities as sea ice and permafrost degrade, coastlines erode, Arctic storms intensify, and the seasonal patterns of animals and plants rapidly shift.

He is interested in developing and applying novel methods for spatial and space-time analysis. I am also interested in other research areas relating more broadly to GIScience; including spatial modelling, volunteered geographic information (and non-traditional data), and map comparison. Finally, as a huge sports fan, Jed is fascinated by ways spatial data and analysis can be used in sports analytics. - [CRRC Days Closing Keynote - Andrew Weaver](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/crrc-days-final-keynote-andrew-weaver/) - Dr. Andrew J.

Dr. Stewart started her graduate work in Algonquin park while a MSc student at Guelph, and has since conducted and led large trapping, GPS collaring, wildlife camera, and ecological forecasting work in the Yukon, NWT, Alberta, and British Columbia. She is excited to bring this experience with her to Laurier and to learning more about everyone else’s work being conducted through the Cold Regions Research Centre. - [CRRC Trivia Night # 3](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/crrc-trivia-night-3/) - A fun-filled event to test out your cold regions knowledge and have fun with your CRRC Early Career Researcher Team - [CRRC Seminar Series - Stephen Howell](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/crrc-seminar-series-stephen-howell/) - Climate change has driven reductions in sea ice and this in turn has facilitated increased ship traffic across the Arctic. The latest-state-of-the-art climate models project profound shifts in ship-accessible season length, with 100% navigation probability for part of the year, regardless of vessel type, above 2 °C of global warming for many regions within the Canadian Arctic, including the Northwest Passage. However, climate models do not capture local-scale ice dynamic processes that pose hazardous conditions to ships transiting through the Canadian Arctic. One such process is the collapse of the ice arches in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago and Nares Strait that allows thick multi-year ice from Arctic Ocean to flow southward into shipping lanes. Satellite derived sea ice motion from RADARSAT-1, RADARSAT-2, Sentinel-1, and the RADARSAT Constellation Mission was used to document the sea ice area (and volume) flux through these regions since 1997. Results indicate that these regions are becoming even larger outlets for Arctic Ocean ice area loss because of climate change. Continuation of this process will be problematic for the maritime industry. - [CRRC Seminar Series Pandemic Pivots](https://www.coldregions.ca/event/crrc-seminar-series-pandemic-pivots/) - Despite an unprecedented global health crisis, cold regions research has continued, adapted, transformed, and in many cases thrived, as researchers respond to the new and uncertain context of the past 18 months.
