Ph.D. Student: Arctic Change and Community Indicators

The purpose of this project is to use science and technology to advance human security infrastructure in response to a changing climate in Arctic communities. Specific objectives include efforts to i) develop diagnostics and indicators to address science questions relevant to communities, and ii) conduct future assessments of extreme events relevant to decision-makers. The candidate will collaborate with multiple stakeholders including communities, Regional, provincial and territorial government representatives, industry and additional appropriate partners to identify sustainable solutions that address community needs in response to a changing climate. A longer-term goal of this project will be to establish the foundation for social enterprise for community members based on training and educational opportunities, with initial emphasis on disaster risk reduction, preparedness, and resilience.
