| Summary | Identifying land-use strategies that consider social, economic, and environmental objectives requires an understanding of how landscapes will change in the future. Online, computer-based simulations were performed to forecast the long-term (50 years) consequences of human disturbances (including oil and gas development, mining, transportation), fire, climate change, and permafrost, on the Sahtú landscape. Climate change was found to have the most crucial influence on the Sahtú’s future environment. |
| Local Relevance | There are numerous stressors on the environment in the Sahtú region of the NWT, and this study helps understand how these stressors will affect the Sahtú region in the future. |
