Canada NSERC Industrial Research Chair in Earth System
Climate change issues dominate the present-day political, social, and scientific agenda, with the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) predicting an average global temperature rise of 1.5 ºC to 5.5 ºC by the end of the century, attributed principally to CO2 released into the atmosphere by human activities. Yet, the ever-present natural greenhouse of ~ 33 ºC is due mainly to water vapour, not CO2. The theoretical idea underpinning all IPCC model “scenarios” is that CO2 causes more water to evaporate, thus causing a major temperature rise. However, this “positive feedback” may in fact be compensated for by the “negative feedback” of cloud formation. In addition, the water and carbon cycles are coupled, with the former at least as important as the latter for climate considerations. The question now arises: is the carbon cycle the “driver” (as in the IPCC models) or is it driven by the water cycle?

Changing delta lake levels impact aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, wildlife habitat, and traditional First Nations communities that have a historical connection with the MBDs and their resources.

Pan-Arctic Tagging of Beluga Whales (2007-08)
This research study will focus on understanding the behavior of Beluga Whales. A number of whales will be monitored and tracked; this is done by tagging the whales with satellite transmitters. The tracking devices record data on whale movement, and also provide oceanographic data on water temperature and salinity.

Prairie Droughts and Surface Winds from Eolian Deposits
When broad scale droughts persist over long periods, the vegetative soil cover is lost and wind erosion occurs, forming sand dunes that can become permanent features of the landscape. The prevailing wind circulation during these periods can be inferred from the orientation of the dunes, and the timing of droughts can be inferred by analysing the organic material incorporated in the dune and other geological techniques. This project produced a map of present-day dunes in the Prairies (more than 170 dune fields), accompanied by a map of potential sediment transport based on the historical wind data.

Using GIS to Assess Public Health Risk Due to Extremely High Temperatures (2006)

Researchers at Ouranos in Montreal and at the Swiss Federal Research Institute have assessed the potential impact of high temperature events on people living in southern Quebec. They integrated climate variables and socio-economic parameters via a geographic information system (GIS) tool to produce maps of estimated present and future public health risk. A comparison of risk maps for present and future conditions showed that the number of locations where populations will be at threat due to high temperature events will dramatically increase in Quebec over the next few decades. This study gives preliminary input to the Quebec public health decision-makers who intend to develop a spatially explicit on-line analytical processing tool using Web-GIS technology to identify areas vulnerable to climate change.
