This volume offers an interdisciplinary, spatially grounded analysis of Northern Canada--centring the territories of Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, and the broader geography of Inuit Nunangat--to show how climate change, infrastructure, governance, and cultural continuity co-produce northern development outcomes. Rather than treating the North as a uniform periphery, the book foregrounds spatial heterogeneity in exposure, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity, demonstrating how wicked problems emerge through interconnected systems of mobility, services, food procurement, and ecological transformation. It combines GIScience, regional science, and spatial analysis to translate complex realities into decision-relevant insight, including approaches spanning remote sensing, spatial vulnerability assessment, and network-based measures of connectivity.
