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.[6]
Dawson is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report.[7]
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."[8]
Her arctic research practice emphasizes collaboration with Inuit colleagues in communities across Nunavut and beyond.[citation needed]
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.[9] 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".[9]
