Mitigating the impact of climate change and shipping in the Arctic

Arctic shipping in Canada has more than tripled since 1990, and is expected to increase exponentially as climate change causes more sea ice to melt, making waterways easier to navigate. University of Ottawa researcher Jackie Dawson from the Faculty of Arts is heading back north to study the impact and risk of marine shipping in Arctic Canada, thanks to support from the National Killam Program.

Through her new research project, Inuit Qaujisrnirmut Pilirijjutit (Knowledge) on Artic Shipping Risks, the new Killam Fellow will collaborate with local Inuit to assess the impact of increased ship traffic on the surrounding marine mammal and human populations, predict future conditions and identify risk mitigation strategies.
