Spatio-temporal mapping of slush and ice conditions using multimodal Earth observations to promote safe travel in Nunavik, Quebec — This project aims to provide vital spatio-temporal maps of sea ice roughness, thickness, and slush conditions for Nunavik communities, crucial for safe and efficient travel in the face of changing climate conditions. By combining traditional knowledge with satellite and ground-based observations, including drone imagery and Ground Penetration Radar, the project will offer near real-time access to reliable satellite maps through collaboration with the Kativik Regional Administration, benefiting the safety and well-being of Nunavimmiuts.
