Research Interests

Claudio has done ethnographic research in the Canadian Arctic since 1998. He has documented Inuit knowledge and use of marine and coastal areas in all regions of the Canadian Arctic. Claudio鈥檚 research has also focused on the geographic representation of indigenous environmental knowledge. His projects have been funded by Wenner-Gren, SSHRC, NSERC, National Geographic Society, Canada Foundation for Innovation, Levrhulme Trust, the Government of Nunavut, and a number of indigenous organizations. He is also a faculty member of the听听at Carleton University, and the current director of听. Some outcomes of Claudio鈥檚 work include the co-creation of digital atlases (see听, and听, , , ).

His current interests are connected to co-management, sustainable communities, Marine Spatial Planning, indigenous and local coastal knowledge, and knowledge mobilization. His current projects include documenting Inuit mobility networks in Arctic Canada, exploring the impact of shipping in areas of significance to Inuit communities, and exploring the potential of geo-visualizations and marine spatial planning as processes that facilitate knowledge sharing and co-governance in cross-cultural contexts. In Atlantic Canada, he is working on documenting knowledge of benthic ecosystems in some Nova Scotia coastal communities, in the context of the .
