Negotiating Research Relationships with Inuit Communities: a Guide for Researchers.
(Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami and Nunavut Research Institute, Ottawa and Iqualuit, 2007)Northern researchers are ever-aware of the growing expectations on them to ensure that northern communities are involved in, and benefit from, research. But what are researchers really being asked to do? How can community ... -
Handbook for community-based sea ice monitoring.
(National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder, Colorado, 2008)This handbook was originally compiled as a reference for local observers carrying out sea ice measurements as part of a community-based sea ice observation network for the Siku-Inuit-Hila project, an NSF-funded project ... -
