Climate change is a significant challenge for northern communities, where the impacts of a warming climate are already having considerable effects (Huntington and Weller, 2005). Many people living in small, isolated communities in northern Yukon are…

"There are more and more researchers in the North who want their work to benefit northerners, and wonder if their results are relevant to the communities they work near or with. With the impacts of climate change being felt by those who live in…

This compendium is intended to provide an overview of recent climate change work involving Yukon. It is comprised of various types of documents including scientific journal articles, government publications, workshop reports, and conference…

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been employed as passive treatment systems for metal contaminated mine drainage in Canada. However, relatively few CWs have been documented in northern environments and further studies are needed to understand the…

Coupling energy storage systems with renewable generation systems has a variety of advantages including: increasing the penetration of renewables, reducing curtailment, providing energy security, lowering greenhouse gas emissions and providing an…

This report provides regional perspectives on how climate change is impacting our communities, environment and economy, and how we are adapting. This chapter discusses climate change impacts and approaches to adaptation across Northern Canada.

The objective of this project was to identify landscape hazards in Pelly Crossing and nearby surroundings by compiling geoscience data from various field studies and scientific reviews (i.e., surficial geology and hydrology). This data was used to…

"The 48-km stretch of the Yukon Valley from the mouth of Tatchun Creek to Minto Crossing was surveyed. 110 islands, just over 50 back channels, plus 14 off-channel ponds constitute the wetland habitat most used by birds. Two key areas were…

This is a summary version of the "Compendium of Yukon Climate Change Science".

This survey was the Yukon section of the Canada-wide periodic monitoring of the status of the Peregrine Falcon, a requirement of the Canadian Recovery Plan for the species. The Yukon, through the Northern Research Institute at Yukon College…

"These projects mostly use bird species diversity and population performance as indicators of ecosystem health. In part using student energies, data bases are maintained tracking key demographic parameters of important focal species. Some of…

"This study was directed at gaining an understanding of the abundance and characteristics of bird feeders in the Yukon and their risk as possible bear attractants, with the overarching goal of creating a best practices list for Yukon bird…

Inventory and documentation of historic resources along the Ridge Road, constructed in 1899 to improve access to gold-bearing streams in the Klondike.

"The fieldwork on the Whitehorse-Dawson Overland Trail began in 1993 after a study, funded by the Northern Research Institute, on the methods of recording the historical resources. It was realized then, what a large project it would be,…
