My postdoctoral research focused on community-based monitoring (CBM) of environmental change in the Arctic. I collaborated with ELOKA (Exchange for Local Knowledge and Observations of the Arctic) and the Inuit Circumpolar Council to develop an online atlas of CBM and traditional knowledge projects across the circumpolar North (www.arcticcbm.org). This project relates to my broader interest in knowledge translation, mobilization, and engagement processes that link scales of scientific research and policy.
