Download or read book Quaternary Glaciations Extent and Chronology written by J. Ehlers and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-10-02 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second of three volumes in which the recent knowledge of the extent and chronology of Quaternary glaciations has been compiled on a global scale. This information is seen as a fundamental requirement, not only for the glacial community, but for the wider user-community of general Quaternary workers. In particular the need for accurate ice-front positions is a basic requirement for the rapidly growing field of palaeoclimate modelling. In order to provide the information for the widest-possible range of users in the most accessible form, a series of digital maps was prepared.The glacial limits were mapped in ArcView, the Geographical Information System (GIS) used by the work group. Included with the publication is a CD with digital maps, showing glacial limits, end moraines, ice-dammed lakes, glacier-induced drainage diversions and the locations of key sections through which the glacial limits are defined and dated. The last deglaciation is also shown in 500 year time-steps. The digital maps in this volume cover the USA and Canada and include Greenland and Hawaii. Both overview maps and more detailed maps at a scale 1: 1,000,000 are provided.Also available:Part I: Europe, ISBN 0-444-51462-7Part III: South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, ISBN 0-444-51593-3

Download or read book Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada s Arctic Communities written by Chris Southcott and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2022-09-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern treaties, increased self-government, new environmental assessment rules, co-management bodies, and increased recognition and respect of Indigenous rights make it possible for northern communities to exert some control over extractive industries. Whether these industries can increase the well-being and sustainability of Canada’s Arctic communities, however, is still open to question. Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada’s Arctic Communities delves into the final research findings of the Resources and Sustainable Development in the Arctic project which attempted to determine what was required for extractive industry to benefit northern communities. Drawing on case studies, this book explores how northern communities can capture and distribute a fairer share of financial benefits, how they can use extractive activities for business development, the problems and possibilities of employment and training opportunities, and the impacts on gender relations. It also considers fly-in fly-out work patterns, subsistence activities, housing, post-mine clean-up activities, waste management, and ways of monitoring positive and negative impacts. While extractive industries could potentially help improve the sustainability of Canada’s Arctic, many issues stand in the way, most notably power imbalances that limit the ability of Indigenous Peoples to equitably participate in their governance. Extractive Industry and the Sustainability of Canada’s Arctic Communities emphasizes the general need to determine how new institutions and processes, which are largely imported from the south, can be adapted to allow for a more authentic participation from the Indigenous Peoples of Canada’s Arctic.

Download or read book Sanaaq written by Mitiarjuk Nappaaluk and published by . This book was released on 2019-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanaaq is an intimate story of an Inuit family negotiating the changes brought into their community by the coming of the qallunaat, the white people, in the mid-nineteenth century. Composed in 48 episodes, it recounts the daily life of Sanaaq, a strong and outspoken young widow, her daughter Qumaq, and their small semi-nomadic community in northern Quebec. Here they live their lives hunting seal, repairing their kayak, and gathering mussels under blue sea ice before the tide comes in. These are ordinary extraordinary lives: marriages are made and unmade, children are born and named, violence appears in the form of a fearful husband or a hungry polar bear. Here the spirit world is alive and relations with non-humans are never taken lightly. And under it all, the growing intrusion of the qallunaat and the battle for souls between the Catholic and Anglican missionaries threatens to forever change the way of life of Sanaaq and her young family.
Download or read book Polar Tourism written by Alain A. Grenier and published by PUQ. This book was released on 2012-10-01T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The creation of the Nunavik is a major step forward, both for the Province of Quebec and its Inuit population. Not only does it underline the recognition of the Inuit people and their identity but it also stresses the importance of discussing some fundamental issues regarding the emancipation of the Inuit, their empowerment, the development and management of the northern resources of Quebec, and the protection and conservation of the fragile Nordic ecosystems. Rich in culture and scenery, Nunavik has identified tourism as one of the main and best suited avenue for economic development. But before Nunavik can truly enjoy the benefits of a well established tourism “industry”, many challenges need to be met. The development of tourism in a new destination is not only challenging but it requires human efforts, political and economic will over a large amount of time without much guaranties as to what will work or not.It is in this context that in August 2008, the members of the newly created International Polar Tourism Research Network (IPTRN) came to Kangiqsujjuak, Nunavik, to discuss how tourism can play a role in regional development. The collection of articles presented here is the result of the coming together of a group of polar tourism researchers from around the world, who met in Nunavik - the northernmost part of Quebec, to discuss polar tourism as a tool for regional development. Such a book does not claim to address all issues facing the polar destinations. It is nevertheless a base for reflection. Many of the new emerging regions of the circumpolar world, like the Nunavik, are experimenting with new powers and responsibilities.For scientists, this is an excellent time to assist with the experiences that have been well documented from other Northern, Arctic and polar regions. For tourism, this book is meant to offer a range of perspectives on how challenges can be met and how solutions can be implemented for the benefit of all local interests.
Download or read book The Social History of Kangiqsualujjuaq Nunavik Northern Quebec written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This study was undertaken to ascertain the significant events, occurrences, people, places and narratives that have shaped the region of Kangiqsualujjuaq since the nineteenth century, for the purpose of documenting the region's history and culture. The work was done within the context of planning a Nunavik Park for the Quebec National Parks Network. The report is a short historical overview of Kangiqsualujjuaq based on the recollections of Inuit residents and observations made from field trips, personal diaries, as well as an extensive literature review. It includes historical content from not only Kangiqsualujjuaq, but also the wider geographical region known as the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula. Historical knowledge of Kangiqsualujjuaq is mostly held by a few Inuit Elders who can still provide rich accounts of Inuit life prior to establishment of communities. Topics covered within this report include the history of Kangiqsualujjuaq (George River) between 1800 AD. to present, a short history of Killiniq (Port Burwell), a summary of the landscape narratives, legends and stories associated with the Quebec-Labrador Peninsula, and the origin of the toponym Torngat. All available published and unpublished material (see Bibliography) was reviewed. Then, a field trip was conducted in Kangiqsualujjuaq in February 2003. The interviews performed with Inuit Elders and younger individuals yielded a wealth of information pertaining to local stories, myths and legends. Staff members of the community school and employees of the municipality also provided extensive information about the human history of the village. Field interviews performed in Kangiqsualujjuaq during the mid 1980-90s (Avataq's Oral History Archives) provided useful information and first-hand accounts. The residents of Kangiqsualujjuaq have witnessed dramatic changes to their environment and social structure within the last 50 years. Not only have Inuit learned to adapt to a sedentary lifestyle, but they have alsohad to adjust their ways of thinking and knowing about their arctic homeland. Technical interventions have been the main catalyst for this change in social relations and environmental perceptions. Other outside forces such as land-claim agreements, commercial ventures and infrastructures, western educational systems, political interventions, and the shift to modernized means of transportation, are but some of the elements that now fashion the lives of Kangiqsualujjuamiut. It is remarkable that Kangiqsualujjuamiut, through this shift from a pre-industrial to a post-industrial society, have sustained a time-honoured connection to their territory. The transmission of knowledge relating to the history of Kangiqsualujjuaq, within the community itself, will only prosper if younger Inuit are eager to learn about their homeland from Inuit Elders, parents and schoolteachers"--ASTIS [online] bibliography.
