Fall 2016
Climate variability, climate change and human activities have impacted various components of the hydrologic cycle in many regions across the world. In particular, changes to the global climate system can affect the magnitude and frequency of extreme hydrological events, thus altering the risk to...

Changes in Arctic sea ice and hydrology of pan-Arctic river basins under the impact of climate change
DownloadFall 2020
Under the impact of global warming, the hydro-climatology over the Arctic has changed significantly. Warming over the Arctic region is twice the global mean warming rate since the 1980s, known as Arctic Amplification, which occurs because warming induces melting of sea ice, leading to feedbacks...

Hydroclimate Changes to Arid regions subjected to Impact of climate change, human activities, and Large-scale climate patterns
DownloadSpring 2020
In recent years, many regions worldwide have suffered from natural hazards related to the impact of human activities and climate change, such as floods and droughts, sea level rise, extreme weather events and an accelerated hydrological cycle. In Africa, the driest continent on Earth, climate...

Modeling the Hydrology and Water Resources Management of South Saskatchewan River Basin under the Potential Combined Impacts of Climate Change and Climate Anomalies
DownloadSpring 2013
The objective of this research study is to investigate the potential impact of climate change, and the combined impacts of climate change and climate anomalies on the hydrology and water resources management for the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) of Alberta for the 21st century. The...

Potential Hydrologic Impact of Climate Change to Athabasca River Basin based on Dynamically Downscaled Climate Scenarios of IPCC
DownloadFall 2014
To investigate the potential hydrologic impact of climate change on the Athabasca River Basin (ARB) of Alberta, Canada, the fully distributed physically based model, Modified Interactions Soil-Biosphere-Atmosphere (MISBA) land surface scheme of Kerkhoven and Gan (2006) was driven with two SRES...
