Linking Atmospheric Rivers to Annual and Extreme River Runoff in British Columbia and Southeastern Alaska
Abstract This study quantifies the contribution of atmospheric rivers (ARs) to annual and extreme river runoff and evaluates the relationships between watershed characteristics and AR-related maximum river runoff across British Columbia and southeastern Alaska (BCSAK). Datasets used include...
Canadian Continental-Scale Hydrology under a Changing Climate: A Review
Canada, like other high latitude cold regions on Earth, is experiencing some of the most accelerated and intense warming resulting from global climate change. In the northern regions, Arctic amplification has resulted in warming two to three times greater than global mean temperature trends...

Future Climate Change Impacts on Snow and Water Resources of the Fraser River Basin, British Columbia
Abstract Changes in air temperature and precipitation can modify snowmelt-driven runoff in snowmelt-dominated regimes. This study focuses on climate change impacts on the snow hydrology of the Fraser River basin (FRB) of British Columbia (BC), Canada, using the Variable Infiltration Capacity...
Modelling the impacts of climate change on riverine thermal regimes in western Canada’s largest Pacific watershed - Scientific Reports
Quantification of climate change impacts on the thermal regimes of rivers in British Columbia (BC) is crucial given their importance to aquatic ecosystems. Using the Air2Stream model, we investigate the impact of both air temperature and streamflow changes on river water temperatures from 1950...

Study Assesses Vulnerability of Coastal Habitats to Climate Change in the Northeast United States
Salt marshes, shellfish reefs, deep-sea corals, seagrasses, kelp, and intertidal habitats are among the most vulnerable habitats.
An assessment of marine, estuarine, and riverine habitat vulnerability to climate change in the Northeast U.S.
Climate change is impacting the function and distribution of habitats used by marine, coastal, and diadromous species. These impacts often exacerbate the anthropogenic stressors that habitats face, particularly in the coastal environment. We conducted a climate vulnerability assessment of 52...

More research is needed connect climate change to B.C.'s extreme weather: analyst
An extreme weather researcher says it's not yet clear whether this year's floods and heatwaves in British Columbia can be attributed to human-caused climate change.

Resilient Coasts for Salmon | Pacific Salmon Foundation
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Protecting coastal communities from ocean waves and erosion has traditionally involved hardening shorelines with structures like dykes, seawalls and jetties. However, these artificial structures often cause more problems than they solve. The Resilient...

New NOAA reports on Alaska’s oceans highlight disruptive warming trends
Data from the Bering Sea in particular points to ongoing temperature increases having an impact on fish and animal stocks.
Climate change could spark international fish fights
Almost 50 per cent of the world's shared fish stocks will shift their habitat ranges and migration routes due to climate change, posing a challenge for international co-operation, a new study says.

Fish populations are shifting around the planet and 'someone is going to lose out,' says UBC researcher
By 2100, nearly half of the world’s shared fish stocks are expected to shift to neighbouring countries or international waters, says a new UBC study

Another Record: Ocean Warming Continues through 2021 despite La Niña Conditions - Advances in Atmospheric Sciences
The increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities traps heat within the climate system and increases ocean heat content (OHC). Here, we provide the first analysis of recent OHC changes through 2021 from two international groups. The world ocean, in 2021, was...

The recent normalization of historical marine heat extremes
Climate change exposes marine ecosystems to extreme conditions with increasing frequency. Capitalizing on the global reconstruction of sea surface temperature (SST) records from 1870-present, we present a centennial-scale index of extreme marine heat within a coherent and comparable statistical...
In hot water: Ocean warming hits another record high on climate change
The ocean is now warmer than it’s ever been in recent history, according to a new study. And this isn’t the first time such a record has been set. For the past six years, ocean temperatures have exceeded each previous year in a trend one scientist calls “inexorable.” Human-induced climate change...

Where and why are B.C. salmon most vulnerable, and what can we do to help them?
Climate change has undoubtedly made its mark in British Columbia, as demonstrated by a year of extreme climate events throughout 2021. Record-breaking floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wildfires ravaged the province, affecting both human and ecological communities. Pacific salmon and their...

Marine heatwaves could wipe out an extra six per cent of a country’s fish catches, costing millions their jobs - UBC News
Extremely hot years will wipe out hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish available for catch in a country’s waters in this century, on top of projected decreases to fish stocks from long-term climate change, a new UBC study predicts.
