Book excerpt: Page iv Government of Newfoundland and Labrador A Study of Climate Change Monitoring Capabilities in Newfoundland and Labrador Final Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents a three-part study of climate change monitoring capabilities in Newfoundland and Labrador prepared for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Office of Climate Change, Energy Efficiency and Emissions Trading. [...] Monitoring of coastal waters and the adjoining Northwest Atlantic Ocean upstream of the island and Labrador is a key for the well-being of the public; the measurements of air pressure, wind, and waves play critical roles in supporting weather forecasting and emergency preparedness and response - both at sea and on land for storms and flooding.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time lag between the introduction of a new species and its growth to marketability, and that between development of a successful pathogen-control strategy and the recovery of the affected forest, limit adaptive capacity in forestry. [...] Research has concentrated on the Gulf Ferry-TCH system in western Newfoundland on the impacts of frost wedging on slope failures in western Newfoundland and the Burin Peninsula, and on the influence of coastal ice conditions in Labrador. [...] Discontinuous patches are present in southern Labrador, and at altitude in the Mealy Mountains and the interior of the Northern Peninsula (Berger et al., 1992; Clark and Schmidlin, 1992). [...] Lakes and wetlands are subject to changes in chemistry and organic content under the influences of changes in temperature and hydrologic regime (Bello and Smith, 1990; Blenckner et al., 2006; Clair et al, 1996; Petzold, 1980; Prowse et al, 2009; Schindler et al., 1990; Walker et al, 1991). [...] Marine and freshwater aquatic species are discussed in the Marine and Fisheries and the Water sections of this review, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate variability is the semi-regular fluctuation of climate about its mean state. Whereas there is considerable research into how daily variability and long-term change may influence attitudes and perceptions of climate change, the influence of climate variability acting over timescales between these extremes (i.e. interannual anomalies, decadal cycles) has mostly been neglected in human dimensions of climate research. This lack of consideration of long-term climate variability has limited our capacity to assess climate perceptions effectively and holistically. The goal of this research was to explore the extent to which individuals notice, interpret, and communicate climate variability. Through semi-structured, one-on-one interviews with people living in areas experiencing considerable climate variability, this research has begun to develop a baseline understanding of the weather and climate phenomena that are prevalent in participants' lives. This project also analyzes some of the language strategies that individuals use to communicate weather/climate cycles and other relevant climate phenomena. Subsequent focus group discussions were used to test tools for communicating important weather/climate phenomena. Because human values and cultural meanings are often removed from climate science, climate-related information is difficult to understand and contextualize when disseminated to the public. By focusing on the social aspects of weather and climate experiences, this research identifies the climate features that matter most to individuals in the community being researched. The results of this project can inform future research investigating perceptions and experiences of past weather and climate phenomena. Furthermore, because longer-term variability is often misrepresented as counter-evidence to anthropogenic climate change by either those who do not understand or care to understand the phenomena, the results of this research can begin to aid in reducing the potential misinterpretations between natural climate variability and climate change.

Download or read book Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Production and Food Security of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada written by Mohammad Selim Reza and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) has a food security issue due to lack of suitable agricultural land, short growing seasons, and unsustainable agricultural policies promoting conventional industrial farming practices, with a limited range of agricultural produce (milk, eggs and poultry) and no facilities for secondary processing of these. The food security issue has been exacerbated in the last decades by climate change events (extreme temperatures, heavy rains and more frequent droughts) which have negatively impacted the province's agricultural industry. The conventional industrial agricultural practices and the profit focus of maximization agricultural policies have contributed to and have intensified several environmental, social and economic problems. They have as well provided an inadequate guarantee for food security, as the NL agriculture industry does not secure enough healthy, fresh, nutritious, and affordable food alternatives for people to live and be healthy. This research is based on quantitative and qualitative data, collected through surveying both crop and dairy farmers located in western, central and eastern regions of the Newfoundland and Labrador province, and through a literature review of peer-reviewed articles, published government reports and documents and news articles. The research results show that any attempt to solve the multi-faceted problems of the NL agriculture impacted by climate change increases the significance of pursuing an agro-ecological approach to farming in the province. Integrated and small, highly diversified farms are one sustainable alternative to modern industrial farming, as they can make the current agricultural practices more resilient to global climate change (GCC), can enhance food security in the province, as well as reduce the impact of agricultural practices on GCC. This study has found that 100 percent of the crop and dairy farms production has been affected by two or more natural hazards, such as long winters/short growing seasons, late spring frost and heavy rains/rain storms, which are the results of climate change. More interestingly, 56 percent of the farm owners in the study area believe that industrial or conventional farm practices have little or no impact on environmental degradation or climate change, since they follow the agriculture rules and guiding principles imposed by the provincial and the federal government of Canada and apply efficient farm management strategies. In some cases, the soils, chemical fertilizers and fossil fuels are poorly managed by the farmers surveyed in the study area, but a good percentage of the farmers are trying to reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers and pesticides and fossil fuels and at the same time, are trying to increase the use of organic fertilizers, pesticides and renewable energy. Moreover, the current research has shown that there are incipient agro-ecological practices in the province, and that farmers are aware about climate change and the need to adopt more environment friendly farming practices. New policy frameworks and work plans are needed to speed up the transition from the current unsustainable farming practices to small-scale, organic, energy efficient and high yielding agro-ecological practices. Provincial as well as federal government support, and collaboration among educational and research institutions, agricultural farms, non-government organizations and the general public will promote agricultural diversification and integration and more environmentally-friendly farm practices within the province. These will ameliorate province's food security issue, by increasing the supply of local fresh and healthy food, will provide additional financial benefits to the farm holders, as well as protect the local and the global environment.
