Past and present research has focused on permafrost studies, coastal geology, and geomorphological characterization of the region. Some work on the social dimensions has been conducted over time. Other research topics cover biodiversity and dynamics of northern aquatic ecosystems, impacts of thawing permafrost in the context of global warming, wetlands paleoecology; research on mercury dynamics (air, precipitation, snow), snow and ice dynamics, greenhouse gas emissions from thermokarst ponds and tundra, sea and lake bottom mapping, plant community dynamics and response of northern plants to climate change.[\/vc_column_text][skb_content_sidebar][skb_content_image title=”Umiujaq web site”]Learn more about the Umiujaq Research Station on the Umiujaq web site<\/a>.[\/skb_content_image][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][skb_content_factbox label=”Read more”][\/skb_content_factbox][skb_content_linklist title=”Presentation” text=”” links=”%5B%7B%22url%22%3A%22url%3Ahttps%253A%252F%252Fskb.se\/catchnet%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2019%252F06%252FJMolson_GAC_MAC_IAH_2019.pdf%7Ctitle%3ANumerical%2520predictions%2520of%2520permafrost%2520thaw%2520under%2520climate%2520change%2520near%2520Umiujac%2520%2528Nunavik%2529%2520Qu%25C3%25A9bec%253A%2520Only%2520twenty%2520years%2520to%2520go%253F%22%7D%5D”][\/skb_content_sidebar]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [skb_content_header][\/skb_content_header][vc_column_text] Umiujaq The Umiujaq Research Station is owned and run by the Centre d\u2019\u00e9tudes nordiques (CEN: Centre for Northern Studies) whose secretariat is based at Universit\u00e9 Laval, Qu\u00e9bec, Canada.
