Published purpose
This project will develop new radio-frequency (RF) instrumentation for, and in partnership with, Indigenous communities to monitor those components of their traditional trails that pass over frozen lakes and rivers (hereafter called Winter Trails). In doing so, it will integrate Indigenous knowledge of ice dynamics and travel safety into the design and testing processes. The project will also co-create a training curriculum for community members to operate and deploy the instrumentation, create ice-condition travel maps and share the ice information products within and between communities.
