Jackie Dawson is a Canadian academic who holds the Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Environment, Society and Policy. Dawson is also co-Scientific Director of ArcticNet, where she is currently a member of the Board of Directors.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

Dawson graduated in 1997 from Barrie North Collegiate Institute[3] in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. In 2019, she was inducted into the Barrie North Collegiate Institute Wall of Honour.[4][5] Dawson completed a Master's in 2003 at the University of Otago, with a thesis on environmental values of marine tourists.[6]

Research

[edit]

Dawson's research focuses on the impacts of Ecotourism in the Canadian arctic and sub-arctic, and also on how maritime shipping in a time of climate warming will affect the Canadian arctic, both terrestrial Inuit communities and culturally significant marine protected areas.[7]

Dawson is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report.[8]

Scientific community service and leadership

[edit]

Dawson is a member of the Global Young Academy, which aims to give "a voice to young scientists around the world."[9]

Her arctic research practice emphasizes collaboration with Inuit colleagues in communities across Nunavut and beyond.[10][11]

In May 2021, the Arctic Corridors Research Project that Dawson leads, with colleagues, Natalie Carter, Natasha Simonee and Shirley Tagalik, received a Governor General's Innovation Award.[10] The project "consulted with 14 northern communities — seven in Nunavut — to find out how to best protect culturally significant marine areas in the Arctic as ship traffic increases".[10]
