4. 3. Mapping Future Canadian Arctic Coastlines

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Pia Blake; [2021]
   Keywords : Isostatic Rebound; Canadian Arctic; Climate Change; RCP scenarios; Coastlines; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The Canadian Arctic currently faces changing coastlines due isostatic rebound and climate change-driven sea-levels rising. This thesis seeks to answer how local coastlines will change over time under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, where errors in modelled coastlines come from, and how much of an impact isostatic rebound has on sea-levels compared to climate-change driven changes.
