Sentinel North Scientific Meeting

Climate change is visible to the naked eye, not only in the northern landscape, but also in its infrastructures. Research teams at Sentinel North are developing solutions to mitigate the effects of these unprecedented climatic upheavals.

Modelling experts use new mathematical approaches to better understand the many complex systems in the North. They may well be confined to their respective laboratories at Université Laval in Quebec City, but Antoine Allard and Patrick Desrosiers nonetheless work together to advance research in the North. The mathematical modelling tools developed by the two physicists and their teams give meaning to the research data collected through various projects supported by Sentinel North.

Take part in a unique transdisciplinary training at the new Qikiqtarjuaq research station in Nunavut, an invaluable opportunity to study Arctic sea ice changes and their effects on ecosystems, northern communities and climate, alongside an experienced scientific team.

This final field school deployed as part of the Sentinel North initiative is organized in collaboration with Useful Arctic Knowledge and Takuvik. It will take place from April 9 to 18, 2025.

Submit your application before January 20, 2025.
 

An observation is gaining more and more ground in the scientific community: to diagnose and treat chronic stress and mood disorders, we need to look beyond the black box of the brain. It appears that other systems of the human body and living conditions could play a decisive role in the equation. 

April 9-18, 2025, Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut, Canada
