ELOKA is being developed in partnership with several projects that are representative of the types of communities and projects ELOKA expects to serve. They include international projects, projects with diverse data and data needs, and data with varying accessibility. These projects are similar in that they either involve working with Arctic communities and residents in order to collect local observations and traditional knowledge (LTK or community-based monitoring), or they fulfill an advisory role within the ELOKA community. The projects differ in the regions and cultures they represent, whether they are currently working with data, the types of data with which they are working, and the interests, needs, and goals for their project. Visit the Collaborator pages for a description of each project.
ELOKA is also collaborating with a number of organizations including
the Inuit Circumpolar Conference (Greenland), UNEP-GRID: Arendal
(Norway), and the World Data Center (U.S.). We look forward to
linking with a number of other proposed International Polar Year
(IPY) projects as well. A list of these collaborators is available
on the Full Proposals for IPY 2007-2008 Activities Web page, section 1.6.
ArcticNet is
a network of scientists and researchers working with Inuit partner
organizations and community members, as well as agencies in the
federal, provincial, and private sectors. While these individuals
come from myriad backgrounds, their common focus is to study
the impacts of climate change in the coastal Canadian Arctic.
