🚨 Announcing the launch of the Qikiqtaqmiut Sea Ice Terminology book! SmartICE team member Leanne Beaulieu co-designed the terminology book with our Inuit management committee in Uqsuqtuuq (Gjoa Haven). The committee, Qikiqtaqmiut, means "People of the Island". 1/3

This heatwave extends all way to the Arctic islands. Snow and ice is melting rapidly and too early here in Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktutiak), affecting safety and logistics for travel, fishing and research this spring.
Replying to @ScottDuncanWX
This is all part of a bigger 'heatwave' ongoing over much of Western Canada. Inevitable that more records will break in the coming days. This map shows how much warmer (🔴) or cooler (🔵) it is compared to average.

I do a lot of crazy things for geography but this will be one of the coldest! Across Canada we are plunging into ice waters to raise funds for programs of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society- we are close to our goal! Please donate!  #RCGSPolarPlunge rcgs.org/LynnMoorman

Please share widely to Canadian educators so we can improve supports and target research for those teaching geographic content across Canada! Thanks from our cross-Canada research team! @SarahGallah @PaulVangeog @webclassroom @BethDye1 @NSSSTA @RebelGeo @ssencressc @esricanada
Has geography education got you stumped?? Canadian teachers, we need a few moments of your time to understand your experience to improve PD and resources for all! Survey closes soon! Click here! sondages.uqo.ca/index.php/57… @bcssta @CanGeoEdu @atassc @OAGEEOntarioGeo @littlephz

And this is how quickly that Arctic sea ice can change & why it is important to monitor! What a difference a day makes! This was between Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, the floe edge on the north end of Baffin Island, SE coast of Bylot Islamd, east of Pond Inlet. @RCGS_SGRC
The spring/summer break up is an important time to monitor the ice. As the ice season is coming to an end, Andrew Arreak, Regional Operations Lead for the Qikiqtaaluk Region, has been out to retrieve the equipment in #Mittimatalik! Photos taken by Andrew❄️
