Permafrost Pathways is a multi-institutional project made of scientists, international policy experts, and community stakeholders, led by Dr. Susan Natali at the Woodwell Climate Research Center. Our goal is to quantify permafrost degradation across the Arctic boreal region, and use these results to guide more realistic international climate policy. Currently, estimates of carbon emissions from permafrost regions are highly variable and thus, policymakers do not account for these emissions when setting emissions reduction targets. We intend to measure carbon exchange where data is needed most across the Arctic boreal region using a network of monitoring stations, including in Nunavut. Over the course of five years, these stations will measure carbon dioxide and methane emissions from natural permafrost ecosystems. The monitoring stations would remain in Nunavut year-round and are constructed using a structure such as a metal tri-pod, with sensors attached above and below ground. These sensors collect data about weather and environmental conditions and associated greenhouse gas exchange. Storage of the data will be managed by our organization, but all data will be openly shared to a repository at the end of each calendar year. The availability of this data will promote collaboration with other researchers. We ultimately will publish our results that identify relationships between climate change and loss of permafrost. Our project will have a relatively small impact on the lives of Nunavut residents. Our researchers will install the monitoring station in an undisturbed location that will be approved by the land owner and local organizations, and we will return annually to repair and maintain the sensors. We also plan to contract a local resident to make small adjustments to the sensors and assist with troubleshooting throughout the year. We intend to and would like to participate in a town meeting annually to share our research and answer any questions local residents may have about our local research site and larger goals. This includes meetings in Resolute, Pond Inlet, Iqaluit, and/or any other location that we may work in the future.
