Name of the Project: Bursting the banks: Dealing with flooding due to climate change in the Arctic Municipality of Pangnirtung, Nunavut.Introduction: The Municipality of Pangnirtung is located in the Canadian Territory of Nunavut and lies on the South-eastern shore of the Pangnirtung Fiord, which itself is located at latitude 69.1675o N and Longitude 65.6917o W on the eastern side of Baffin Island. In total, the community covers an area of 7.5 km2 with a population of about 1850 in 2024. The Duval River is the only potable water source. The Municipality of Pangnirtung has recently received funding from CIRNAC under the Climate Change preparedness in the North program to conduct Scientific Research. The proposed Research aims to better characterize the hydrology of Pangnirtung, especially the role of snow regime and its impact on flash flooding and drainage in the Duval River watershed and the community of Pangnirtung as climate changes. The proposed scientific Research involves mathematical modelling of the local hydrology in the Duval River watershed. This will be closely supported by field measurements, including snow depth at select locations, weather data, ground temperature at specific locations and possible aerial imageries of the watershed. A preliminary search of data sources reveals there is no sufficient information on snowfall. We are proposing to install a weather monitoring station including snowfall depths in the mid to upper reaches of the Duval River. In order to supplement this information, we are proposing to examine satellite data from sources, such as RADARSAT. In order to verify the RADARSAT data, we are proposing to measure the snow depths towards the end of winter season.Sensors will be deployed at select locations to record ground temperatures at different depths (permafrost conditions). The goal of this is to obtain a sense of how the active layer is changing, and, in turn, the potential for infiltration and groundwater contribution to surface flow. This entails consequences for both the amount of water available for flooding as well as drinking water supplies. The Municipality of Pangnirtung is seeking a Scientific Research Licence in order to conduct this Study from April 01,2024 for three years.
