The extreme climate events in this region have\nbeen some o f the most costly natural disasters in Canada\nhistory.\nClimate models su ggest that this hydroclimatic variability could\nbe amplified by global wa rming - presenting a more challenging\nfuture scenario than the projected shifts in average conditions. To\nappreciate how global warming might affe ct the variable\nhydroclimate of western Canada\, we first must understand the\ninternal (natural) short-term variability.\nThe long climate records indicate that western water policy and\nmanagement practices were establi shed during a period of intense\,\nbut not sustained drought\, and that ad justments may be required to\nsustain land and water use under a hydrologi c regime that has\nelements of previous regimes and global warming.\nAvec Professeur David Sauchyn\, Université de\nRegina.\n DTSTART:20110622T030000Z DTEND:20110622T034500Z SUMMARY:Diffusion — Conférences scientifiques À la fine pointe : How might global warming affect the variable hydroclimate of Western Canada?
