Cold Regions Water Science
EF 2021-22
Résumé
The Arctic climate is warming rapidly, and precipitation is changing, with concurrent changes to shrubs, permafrost, and water. However, numerous changes in the water cycle are unexpected and unexplained by current models. The objective of this research project is to make significant advances in both the understanding of, and ability to predict, Arctic water resources at the local scale of interest to northerners. This project will use a combination of novel field observations and experiments, remote sensing and multi-scale modelling to provide robust scenarios of future changes. These are urgently needed to consider, and plan for, future changes in climate.
