AbstractChanges in climate variables and relative sea-level (RSL) are ongoing in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). These regional changes threaten to modify the nature and timescale of arctic coastal processes. Further local variables such as bathymetry, sediment source and exposure to fetch alter the response of coastal systems to changing climate and RSL. Increased sediment erosion, transport and deposition will create a more dynamic coastline. Arctic communities need an assessment of the sensitivity of their coastline for decision-making and adaptation planning.
