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.

Download or read book Experiences of Natural Climate Variability in Newfoundland and Labrador written by Olivia Francis Vilá and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. 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.

Book excerpt: As climate change, resource overexploitation, and pollution leave ever more visible marks, ocean ecosystems, economies, and people are all affected. With coasts on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic, Canada faces a formidable challenge in building resilient, sustainable oceans and supporting the communities that rely on them. Sea Change reports on the OceanCanada Partnership, a multidisciplinary project to take stock of what we know about Canada’s oceans, construct possible scenarios for coastal regions, and create a national dialogue and vision. Three themes emerge from this impressive synthesis of social, cultural, economic, and environmental research: ocean change, access to ocean resources, and ocean governance. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and practitioners focus on finding solutions to rapid environmental and social transformation, outlining the implications for legislation and offering policy recommendations. Increasingly, civil society will have to advocate for oceans, and Sea Change will empower the voices of those who take up that task.
