Look into FROST Mission

FROST brings together Indigenous knowledge, natural sciences, and social sciences to understand how warmer winters are transforming Arctic lakes and cultural practices.

Our research focuses on changes in lake ice, fish health, and community well-being, with the goal of supporting locally informed adaptation strategies.

​

In close collaboration with Inuit and Sàmi partners, the project spans 12 research sites across the Arctic.

​

Arctic lakes are vital to northern communities, providing food, drinking water, and deep cultural meaning. In response to local concerns—such as unexpected fish die-offs, changes in water taste, and decreasing winter accessibility, FROST bridges knowledge systems to generate new insights and practical solutions.
