He is currently working on these issues in partnership with Indigenous communities in the Canadian Arctic, Pacific Islands, and Australia. He works on several projects that seek to integrate traditional knowledge of Inuit communities in the Canadian Arctic in environment and societal decision-making. He continues to work on adaptation tracking in the Canadian Arctic and has new initiatives tracking adaptation in Australia.
