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.\nFeatu ring Professor David\nSauchyn\, University of Regina.\n DTSTART:20111017T050000Z DTEND:20111017T060000Z SUMMARY:Broadcast — Cutting Edge Lectures in Science: How might global warm ing affect the variable hydroclimate of Western Canada?
