The ASM2021 brings together researchers from the natural, health, and social sciences to meet the challenges and opportunities of a rapidly changing Arctic region, shaped by climate change and modernization.

The INQ Research Chair on Northern Sustainable Development, in partnership with CIÉRA and INQ, proposes a public conference on the different models of political autonomy in the Arctic.

This webinar focuses on intercultural cohabitation on the North Shore between the Innu community of Nutashkuan and the village of Natashquan. Resulting from a partnership approach, it explores the cohabitation on the daily territories, in order to better understand the factors of rapprochement and distance within the communities as well as in the hinterland, the Nitassinan, ancestral territory of the Innu, shared for more than 165 years with the descendants of the Acadians, the Macacans.  

Join us for the 2021 Sentinel North Scientific Meeting, where interdisciplinarity and innovation will pave the way towards new insights into the changing northern environment.

The Arctic is warming much faster than the rest of the planet. This warming can be amplified or attenuated by natural climate variability. However, the sparse meteorological and instrumental data in the Arctic, when available, do not extend beyond the last 50 years. This reality prevents an adequate understanding of the climate system in this highly vulnerable region. To overcome this lack, we use annually laminated sediments (varves) at the bottom of Arctic lakes. This allows us to go back in time, typically several millennia before present, with annual temporal resolution.

Since 2015, Canadian universities, supported by Universities Canada, have organized an annual forum bringing together leaders from universities, colleges, and Indigenous communities to create meaningful and lasting institutional change in the higher education sector to advance reconciliation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it very difficult to conduct fieldwork in the North, which has led researchers to focus on digital data as an alternative. The increasing digitization of society and the growth of social networks provide...
