Published purpose

This contribution will support the Project “Glacier Change at Auyuittuq and Sirmilik National Parks 1960-2023”. The Project aims to conduct Bylot and Baffin Islands glacier mass balance measurements from 2022-2025 and reconstruct past glacier volume data. The contribution will: help to fill historical glacier mass balance data gaps; assess future methods to measure glacier mass balance; contribute new mass balance estimates for the World Glacier Monitoring Service to predict northern landscape changes in the south eastern Canadian Arctic; and identify potential natural hazards for adjacent communities and park visitors in Auyuittuq and Sirmilik National Parks.
