Global sea-level contribution from Arctic land ice
The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP 2017) report identifies the Arctic as the largest regional source of land ice to global sea-level rise in the 2003-2014 period. Yet, this contextualization ignores the longer perspective from in situ records of glacier mass balance. Here, using 17 (>55 N latitude) glacier and ice cap mass balance series in the 1971-2017 period, we develop a semi-empirical estimate of annual sea-level contribution…
Forty-seven Years of Research on the Devon Island Ice Cap, Arctic Canada
The Devon Island ice cap has been the subject of scientific study for almost half a century, beginning with the first mass balance measurements in 1961. Research on the ice cap was the first to investigate (1) the role of meltwater in seasonal ice-velocity variations on a polythermal Arctic ice cap, (2) the use of air temperature rather than net radiation as a proxy for the energy driving surface melt, and (3) the influence of the changing freque…

Canadian Retirement Savings Plans and the Foreign Property Rule
This paper argues that the Foreign Property Rule (FPR), which limits the foreign content of a Registered Savings Plan to no more than 20 percent of book value, should be removed as quickly as possible. Given the globalization of financial markets, the FPR does not protect what it is meant to protect - a pool of savings for investment in Canada. Instead, it distorts the allocation of credit among firms, and forces agents to use more costly instrum…
