Chantelle Verhey
Chantelle is currently pursuing a PhD at Carleton University in collaboration with the Geomatics and Cartographic Research Centre (GCRC). Her research explores critical questions related to Arctic data and knowledge systems, focusing on improving knowledge-to-action frameworks to address the environmental and social impacts of sea-ice loss in the Arctic. Specifically, her research addresses how community-based Inuit decision-makers and members of the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) Secretariat can enhance existing data products to support knowledge-to-action frameworks for mitigating the effects of sea-ice loss. How the flow of Arctic data and information can be improved through the application of semantic technologies, data sovereignty, and knowledge systems such as Arctic literature publication pathways. What critical information and data gaps must be addressed for Arctic Rights-holder communities, including deficiencies in access, media, language translation, or storytelling methods? What are the most effective ways to present knowledge to local residents, decision-makers, and Rights holders, ensuring it is cognitively, culturally, and linguistically accessible? This will be developed using a mixed-methods, co-production framework currently employed by SmartICE.
Chantelle holds an MSc in Environmental Management from the University of Reading. She previously served as the Lead Research Associate for the Polar Semantics and Data Interoperability Work Package at the World Data System-International Technology Office, hosted by Ocean Networks Canada. In this role, she contributed to advancing semantic technologies and improving data interoperability within the polar scientific community. Other work experience includes a role with the University of Waterloo as a Data Manager/Data Specialist for the Polar Data Catalogue (PDC). Through work with the PDC, she was involved with the Canadian Consortium for Arctic Data interoperability (CCADI), where she led the documentation Work Package. She also holds leadership roles in the polar community, including: Co-chair of the Arctic Data Committee; Co-chair of the POLDER working group
