Phenology’s Effects on the High Arctic Inuit

Event Details

Date
Thursday, October 20, 2016
Time
4:15-5:15 p.m.
Description
Nunavut is the northernmost and least populous territory of Canada, and comprises a major portion of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Harbingers of climate change facing its residents, the Inuit, are now realities. The ramifications of global warming (2015 was the hottest year in recorded history) have accelerated changes in phenology, the timing of events in natural annual cycles. Our speaker will discuss these changes and their effects on the landscape, its animals, and ultimately the Inuit.
