Public Outreach
At FROST, we believe research should serve the public good. By making our work transparent, collaborative, and accessible, we ensure that solutions to the challenges facing Arctic livelihoods are shared widely. This section highlights our scientific publications and outreach initiatives—connecting people with the science, the lakes, and the changes shaping the North.

Reykjavik · NordForsk Meeting · Graphical Synthesis
In mid-October 2025, several FROSTIES met in person for the very first time, halfway across the North, in Iceland. They gathered for the NordForsk Kick-off Meeting, one of FROST’s key funding partners, and held FROST’s first in-person meeting. At the same time, some team members participated in the Arctic Circle Assembly, sharing FROST’s vision with the broader Arctic community.
During these events, FROST’s Communication Officer created graphical notes to capture and share the key messages with other Frosties abroad and with the wider community.

The Mystery of Lake Tasikallak
In 2002, Lake Tasikallak (Qc, Canada) experienced a major fish kill of unknown origin. With support from FROST funding, scientist Isabelle Laurion and her collaborators are revisiting this mystery by installing moorings to collect seasonal data on temperature, oxygen, and light penetration. These measurements will feed models to predict how climatic variations may impact lake chemistry, fish survival, and the livelihoods of communities that depend on these ecosystems.
