The ReSDA gap analysis was an examination of previous research and the needs of northern partners to determine the critical gaps and issues to be addressed through research projects. The analysis involved more than 20 ReSDA researchers and the feedback from northern groups through the 2012 workshop in Whitehorse, Yukon. A list of potential research questions was produced to move us towards more sustainable resource development. The focus of the Whitehorse workshop was on the research results and “next steps” of fourteen gap analysis topics. For more in-depth information and details of the analyses, please view the report from the 2012 workshop in Whitehorse.
The gap analysis researchers examined the areas listed in the table and have provided reports (pdf) for their studies as well as a plain language summary. You can access these by clicking on the links below. A final book is being prepared that will have a chapter for each of these gap analyses. The book is scheduled for publication in late 2017.
