The observations of community members and instrumental records indicate changes in sea
ice around the Inuit community of Igloolik, in the Canadian territory of Nunavut. This paper …

Two global environmental issues, climate change and contamination by persistent organic
pollutants, represent major concerns for arctic ecosystems. Yet, it is unclear how these two …

The seasonally ice-covered waters of Hudson Bay, James Bay, Foxe Basin, and Hudson
Strait (“the study area”) are bordered by 39 communities with a total population of roughly …

Past observations of sea ice thickness in the Eastern Canadian Arctic (ECA) have generally
been restricted to drill-hole measurements at a few local sites on landfast ice. Here we use …

Through analysis of Canadian Ice Service ice charts, we have characterized the temporal
and spatial variability of landfast sea ice (or fast ice) surrounding Hudson Bay and James …

Fog and low visibility present a natural hazard for aviation in the Hudson Bay region. Sixteen
communities on the eastern and western shores of Hudson and James Bays, Canada, were …

Since committing to a 40%–45% reduction in methane emissions from the oil and gas
industry in Canada by 2025, relative to 2012 levels, the federal government has reported …

Recently, we highlighted the presence of a strong west‐east asymmetry in sea ice thickness
across Hudson Bay that is driven by cyclonic circulation. Building on this work, we use …

In northern Canada, winter roads are essential for communities. The duration of the winter
road season depends on particular meteorological conditions. In this study, we investigated …

Previous work has found Hudson Bay seasonal sea ice particularly sensitive to climate
change with a strong signal of earlier breakup dates. This work extends the previous …
