Arctic UNBC Stephen Déry On behalf of UNBC researchers Arctic Forum 2007 The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) is a small, research- intensive university in Prince George, BC. It has ~3500 students, ~500 of which are graduate students. UNBC has a mandate to serve the needs of northern BC and beyond. Many of its faculty conduct research in the Arctic.

Sarah Boon (Geography) is part of an international IPY project called GLACIODYN whose goal is to examine the response of circumpolar tidewater glaciers to climate change. The Canadian component focuses on Belcher Glacier, a tidewater outlet of the Devon Ice Cap.

has a Ph.D. student, Katherine Stewart, who looks at the response of nutrient cycling in arctic tundra ecosystems to climate change; research site for this IPY project is at Daring Lake, NWT. Darwyn Coxson (Ecosystem Science & Management)

Stephen Déry (Environmental Science & Engineering) IPY-funded research focuses on the role of teleconnections on Arctic hydrology; also investigating trends in Northern Hemisphere snowcover extent.

Kevin Hall (Geography) works on cold region weathering processes and landforms, periglacial processes, and the impact of climate change on these.

Scott Green (Ecosystem Science & Management) examines northern treeline dynamics in central and northern Yukon, with a particular focus on responses to climate change; works with numerous Yukon resource managers and IPY collaborators from UofA and UofS.

Chris Johnson (Ecosystem Science & Management) focuses on understanding the ecological resilience & population/distribution dynamics of barren-ground caribou in NWT & Nunavut; specifically interested in 1) fire dynamics- lichen ecology-caribou distribution on the winter range; 2) interactions between population productivity, biting insects, & weather.

Patrick Maher (Outdoor Recreation & Tourism Management) works on cruise tourism in the Arctic in regards to the experiences and management of visitors at protected areas; studies the impacts that climate change will have on the industry & on communities; also works on a polar tourism research network with colleagues worldwide.

Paul Sanborn (Ecosystem Science & Management) collaborates with geologists and paleontologists to study soils as a recorder of long-term environmental changes in northwestern Canada; emphasizes sites in the west-central Yukon, and the Mackenzie Mountains of the NWT.

Gary Wilson (Political Science) focuses on international relations between various Inuit regions in the circumpolar north through the Inuit Circumpolar Conference (ICC). also looks at regional autonomy in northern Canada and Russia, with a focus on Nunavik & various regions in the Russian circumpolar north.
