Changing Nunatsiavut

How are Nunatsiavut communities adapting to climate change? This episode explores how Inuit knowledge and scientific research are coming together to help communities monitor environmental shifts. Learn how changing sea ice, weather patterns, and ocean conditions impact life along the coast, and how community observations play a crucial role in understanding these climate impacts.

Explore ocean currents in the lab: Students explore how heat, salt, and freshwater affect ocean currents. They model thermohaline circulation using hot and cold salt water, observe how added freshwater disrupts the system, and reflect on the climate and ecological impacts of melting ice.
