Perceptions of climate change risks in primary resource use industries: a survey of the Canadian mining sector A survey documenting how climate change is perceived, experienced, and responded to in the Canadian mining sector was administered to industry practitioners at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada annual meeting. Nine key findings from the survey are discussed: (1) The Canadian mining sector is sensitive to climate-related conditions. (2) Climate change is perceived to be having a negative impact on mining operations. (3) Companies are taking action to manage the current impacts. (4) Cost and uncertainty are commonly identified barriers to adapting to current climate change. (5) Future climate change is expected to have impacts for the industry. (6) Climate change projections are perceived as threats...

Translating Climate Change Impacts at the Community Level The use of traditional knowledge to identify contemporary environmental shifts possibly associated with climate change is well exemplified in the papers contained in Krupnik and Jolly's edited work (2002). These papers are grounded in contemporary experience at the community scale, the scale at which change is experienced, in environments where seemingly minor shifts in weather systems have important ramifications for food gathering, access to the land, and overall community well-being. Participatory Action Research, in which host communities facilitate research and play an important role in framing research questions, is used to approach the question of change in some 28 Arctic communities in Canada and Alaska....

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
