Nunataryuk has concluded a successful General Assembly, which included an external review with many constructive points and critiques.

Nunataryuk is cooperating with the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS) and the Terrestrial Multidisciplinary distributed Observatories for the Study of Arctic Connections (T-MOSAiC) in organizing Nunataryuk-APECS-T-MOSAiC School 2020.

As part of Nunataryuk’s research, this working paper examines the environmental challenges related to permafrost by combining geographical data with demographic data in order to describe coastal and inland settlements.

Permafrost under the Arctic seabed is more widespread than previously thought, and is mostly warming, a new study finds.

On Highway 10 from Inuvik to Tuktoyaktuk, Guislain, Édouard and Joannie drive on the newly opened road built on the permafrost.

This organic matter, mainly of terrigenous origin, comes in part from the thawing of permafrost caused by global warming, which is particularly intense in the Arctic.

A short break in Quebec City for scientists before flying again to Inuvik, this time with an almost entirely new crew.

Well, this title is a bit of a short cut to describe the satellite activities, but it summarises it all.
