A clearer view of a changing Arctic
Jackie Dawson brings data and Indigenous Knowledge into the same research effort.

The context
What the reporting shows
Beyond Arctic PASSION will connect environmental observations with knowledge held by Arctic communities. Dawson’s team plans to develop risk assessments, forecasts and dashboards that help people interpret changing conditions. The work is beginning this September; its promised tools are research objectives, not finished products.
The stakeholder lens
Who this work touches
Read this source-linked brief through five lenses: the university as source institution; the people and practitioners named in the reporting; the campus or civic setting around the work; the alumni reader who may carry the question forward; and any partner, which is left unassigned unless the source names one. No sponsor or outreach relationship is inferred here.
The takeaway
A question to carry forward
For alumni readers, the useful next step is to follow the original reporting for names, dates and outcomes. This digest adds an editorial frame while keeping the source page as the authority.
