Field Projects: Ecological Monitoring

Coordination of EMAN-North Network (map)

The Ecological Monitoring and Assessment Network (EMAN) is a national network of sites, agencies, and researchers who are engaged in long-term ecological monitoring. EMAN-North is a network linking the many groups and individuals involved in ecological monitoring in northern Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, northern Manitoba, and Labrador). The goal of EMAN-North is to improve understanding of ecological change in northern Canada through promoting, coordinating, and communicating the results of long-term ecological monitoring. Environment Canada staff (based in Whitehorse and Yellowknife) chair the EMAN-North Steering Committee.
