Research

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

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]

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. 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".^[11]
