The extreme climate events in this region have\nbeen some of the most costly natural disasters in Canada\nhistory.\nClimate models suggest that this hydroclimatic variability could\nbe amplified by global warming - presenting a more challenging\nfuture scenario than the projecte d shifts in average conditions. To\nappreciate how global warming might af fect the variable\nhydroclimate of western Canada\, we first must understa nd the\ninternal (natural) short-term variability.\nThe long climate recor ds indicate that western water policy and\nmanagement practices were estab lished during a period of intense\,\nbut not sustained drought\, and that adjustments may be required to\nsustain land and water use under a hydrolo gic regime that has\nelements of previous regimes and global warming.\nAve c Professeur David\nSauchyn\, Université de Regina.\n DTSTART:20111017T050000Z DTEND:20111017T060000Z SUMMARY:Diffusion — Conférences scientifiques À la fine pointe : How might global warming affect the variable hydroclimate of Western Canada?
