Sable Island National Park Reserve freshwater vulnerability assessment
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-19
Summary
This contribution supports the investigation of the freshwater resource vulnerability on Sable Island National Park Reserve to changing climate conditions. A process-based hydrologic model will be run for different oceanic and atmospheric climate scenarios. Results will improve understanding of the risks to surface water and ground water from rising sea levels, changing air temperatures and precipitation, and intensifying ocean storms.

Description (French)
Cette contribution soutient une étude sur la vulnérabilité des ressources en eau douce de la réserve du parc national de l'île de Sable face à l'évolution des conditions climatiques. Un modèle hydrologique basé sur les processus sera exécuté pour différents scénarios climatiques océaniques et atmosphériques. Les résultats amélioreront la
compréhension des risques pour les eaux de surface et les eaux souterraines liés à l'élévation du niveau de la mer, à l'évolution des températures de l'air et des précipitations, et à l'intensification des tempêtes océaniques.
