Les impacts sociaux de la mine Raglan auprès des communautés inuit de Salluit de KangiqsujuaqBlais, Jonathan 23 April 2018 (has links)
Ce mémoire vise à documenter et analyser les impacts sociaux de la mine Raglan, en opération depuis 1998, sur les communautés inuit de Salluit et de Kangiqsujuaq afin de mieux saisir les conséquences de tels projets sur les populations inuit du Nunavik. L’ouverture et la mise en opération de projets miniers de cet ampleur n’est certes pas sans conséquences pour les populations locales particulièrement en contexte nordique. De fait, les redevances minières versées aux communautés, le système de fly-in, fly-out bien souvent mis en place, les emplois créés ou même l’utilisation du territoire qui diffère de par la présence d’un complexe minier apporte son lot de changement. Cependant, nous en savons peu sur les impacts sociaux des projets miniers réalisés au Nunavik. En étudiant et en comparant les impacts sociaux de Raglan sur les communautés de Salluit et Kangiqsujuaq, cette recherche vise à combler ces lacunes et apporter un nouvel éclairage sur l'impact de l'exploitation minière au Nunavik. MOTS CLÉS : Impacts sociaux, exploitation minière, Nunavik, Salluit, Kangiqsujuaq, Inuit, mine Raglan, Entente Raglan, ententes sur les répercussions et avantages (ERA). / This research is an attempt to document and analyze the social impacts of the Raglan Mine on the communities of Salluit and Kangiqsujuaq in order to further understand the consequences of such projects on the inuit populations of Nunavik. Nunavik is facing an unprecedented mining boom. Extractive companies are attracted by its considerable mineral resources. Following the promotion of mining development by the Quebec Government, the level of exploration and exploitation is unprecedented North of the 49th parallel. However, the large-scale development of the mining industry is not without consequences for the Inuit people of Nunavik that will be the first to feel the impacts of these mining projects. However, we know little about the social impacts of mining projects taking place in Nunavik. By studying and comparing the social impacts of Raglan on the communities of Salluit and Kangiqsujuaq, this research aims to help bridge these gaps and bring on new light to the impact of mining development in Nunavik. KEYWORDS: social impacts, mining development, Nunavik, Salluit, Kangiqsujuaq, Inuit, Raglan mine, Raglan Agreement, Impacts and benefits agreements (IBA).

Oceanographic Considerations for the Management and Protection of Surfing BreaksScarfe, Bradley Edward January 2008 (has links)
Although the physical characteristics of surfing breaks are well described in the literature, there is little specific research on surfing and coastal management. Such research is required because coastal engineering has had significant impacts to surfing breaks, both positive and negative. Strategic planning and environmental impact assessment methods, a central tenet of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM), are recommended by this thesis to maximise surfing amenities. The research reported here identifies key oceanographic considerations required for ICZM around surfing breaks including: surfing wave parameters; surfing break components; relationship between surfer skill, surfing manoeuvre type and wave parameters; wind effects on waves; currents; geomorphic surfing break categorisation; beach-state and morphology; and offshore wave transformations. Key coastal activities that can have impacts to surfing breaks are identified. Environmental data types to consider during coastal studies around surfing breaks are presented and geographic information systems (GIS) are used to manage and interpret such information. To monitor surfing breaks, a shallow water multibeam echo sounding system was utilised and a RTK GPS water level correction and hydrographic GIS methodology developed. Including surfing in coastal management requires coastal engineering solutions that incorporate surfing. As an example, the efficacy of the artificial surfing reef (ASR) at Mount Maunganui, New Zealand, was evaluated. GIS, multibeam echo soundings, oceanographic measurements, photography, and wave modelling were all applied to monitor sea floor morphology around the reef. Results showed that the beach-state has more cellular circulation since the reef was installed, and a groin effect on the offshore bar was caused by the structure within the monitoring period, trapping sediment updrift and eroding sediment downdrift. No identifiable shoreline salient was observed. Landward of the reef, a scour hole ~3 times the surface area of the reef has formed. The current literature on ASRs has primarily focused on reef shape and its role in creating surfing waves. However, this study suggests that impacts to the offshore bar, beach-state, scour hole and surf zone hydrodynamics should all be included in future surfing reef designs. More real world reef studies, including ongoing monitoring of existing surfing reefs are required to validate theoretical concepts in the published literature.
