Academic - Research Projects
The word sikulirijiit means “people who talk/think about, or deal with, sea ice”, siku being a generic term for “sea ice” in Inuktitut (the language of Inuit). Therefore, our current focus on the dynamic and essential sea ice environment includes Inuit experts and scientists alike, anyone with interests and/or experiences related to sea ice.
