Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document provides the Canadian climate impacts research community, policy makers and the general public with a summary of recent results from climate change experiments undertaken with the first version of the Canadian coupled climate model, describes how they were achieved, and discusses both their credibility and limitations. The model, known as CGCM1, is made up of four key components: an atmospheric general circulation model, an ocean general circulation model, a thermodynamic sea ice model, and a land surface model.

Book excerpt: Le climat change, tant au Canada que partout ailleurs dans le monde. À l'échelle mondiale, les évaluations internationales confirment l'augmentation des températures de l'air et des océans, la modification de la configuration des précipitations, la fonte des glaciers, la diminution de la couverture de neige et de l'étendue de la glace de mer, l'élévation du niveau de la mer et l'évolution des phénomènes extrêmes (GIEC, 2013). Tandis que la vitesse des changements varie d'un indicateur à l'autre, la nature des changements va de pair avec le réchauffement climatique, et les modèles climatiques prévoient que bon nombre des tendances observées se poursuivront au cours des prochaines décennies et au-delà. Il est essentiel de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (GES; atténuation) si l'on veut parvenir à atténuer l'ampleur et la vitesse des changements climatiques mais, en raison de l'inertie du système climatique, d'autres répercussions sont inévitables, même en ayant recours à des mesures d'atténuation agressives à l'échelle mondiale. Par conséquent, nous devons également nous adapter, accorder nos activités et nos décisions afin de réduire les risques, de limiter les dommages et de tirer profit des nouvelles possibilités. Tous les ordres de gouvernement, les chercheurs, les organisations du secteur privé et les organisations non gouvernementales considèrent désormais l'adaptation comme un complément essentiel de l'atténuation.

Book excerpt: The first four chapters of this report summarize current scientific understanding of climate change and its global impact. Data in these chapters are mainly derived from the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and key scientific papers published in the international peer-reviewed literature in recent years. Topics covered in these chapters include the natural global climate system, the climatic balance, climates of the past, the greenhouse effect, prediction of future climate, and the impacts of a warmer world on ecosystems, coastal regions, resources, health, & security. Chapter 5 focusses on the many possible impacts of a warmer climate on Canada, including impacts on forests, agriculture, water resources, fisheries, coastal zones, transportation, health, and energy production. The final chapter discusses how people can respond to climate change issues.

Download or read book Arctic Hydrology Permafrost and Ecosystems written by Daqing Yang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-28 with total page 914 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date assessment of the key terrestrial components of the Arctic system, i.e., its hydrology, permafrost, and ecology, drawing on the latest research results from across the circumpolar regions. The Arctic is an integrated system, the elements of which are closely linked by the atmosphere, ocean, and land. Using an integrated system approach, the book’s 30 chapters, written by a diverse team of leading scholars, carefully examine Arctic climate variability/change, large river hydrology, lakes and wetlands, snow cover and ice processes, permafrost characteristics, vegetation/landscape changes, and the future trajectory of Arctic system evolution. The discussions cover the fundamental features of and processes in the Arctic system, with a special focus on critical knowledge gaps, i.e., the interactions and feedbacks between water, permafrost, and ecosystem, such as snow pack and permafrost changes and their impacts on basin hydrology and ecology, river flow, geochemistry, and energy fluxes to the Arctic Ocean, and the structure and function of the Arctic ecosystem in response to past/future changes in climate, hydrology, and permafrost conditions. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, environmentalists, managers, and administrators who are concerned with the northern environment and resources.

Download or read book Arctic Climate Impact Assessment Scientific Report written by Arctic Climate Impact Assessment and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-11-07 with total page 1053 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arctic is now experiencing some of the most rapid and severe climate change on earth. Over the next 100 years, climate change is expected to accelerate, contributing to major physical, ecological, social, and economic changes, many of which have already begun. Changes in arctic climate will also affect the rest of the world through increased global warming and rising sea levels. Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was prepared by an international team of over 300 scientists, experts, and knowledgeable members of indigenous communities. The report has been thoroughly researched, is fully referenced, and provides the first comprehensive evaluation of arctic climate change, changes in ultraviolet radiation and their impacts for the region and for the world. It is illustrated in full color throughout. The results provided the scientific foundations for the ACIA synthesis report - Impacts of a Warming Arctic - published by Cambridge University Press in 2004.

Download or read book Canada written by Selam A. Lund and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2020 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Canada: Past, Present and Future Perspectives begins with an attempt to determine to what degree leadership in Quebec is permeated by mythic primordial imagery which informed not only the 19th-century idéologie de la survivance but also Lionel Groulx's vision of French Canada, the Révolution tranquille, and contemporary Québécois souverainisme. The authors examine recent literature on the environmental and social networks that surround animal/human dynamics, and some recent methodologies for the study of these dynamics. Additionally, they review the concept of ecosystem services, their valuation and sources of uncertainty. In 2008 the governors of California, Oregon and Washington formed the Pacific Coast Collaborative, which the province of British Columbia also joined, with the purpose of taking a regional approach to issues such as climate change, environmental protection, and trade. Because the plan relies on public support and participation to achieve the goals of reducing carbon emissions to mitigate climate change, an analysis of public beliefs about climate change is presented. The authors describe and analyze the evolution of Québec's higher education policies from the Parent Reform to the present day. While the structure of higher education introduced between 1960 and 1970 remains almost unchanged to this day, the public policies defining and framing its role have evolved. The closing chapter centers on how, focusing on the destruction of landscape for the construction of an airport, Nepveu frames Mirabel Airport as a retelling of New France's past discovery in order to lay the groundwork for a discussion of Quebecois future identity"--
