Arctic research initiative targets historical knowledge to track climate change

Three communities in Canada's northern population are participating in a new Arctic research program based out of the University of Victoria. Oceans Network Canada is collecting information in Nunavut to find out how receding sea ice and the changing climate is affecting the lives of those living in the Arctic. A core aspect of this project is acknowledging the different ways in which information is held, collected and passed on, from historical knowledge to citizen scientists who have kept a close eye on the land.
