Earth Science for National Scale Characterization of Climate Change Impacts on Canada's Landmass

Earth Science for National Scale Characterization of Climate Change Impacts on Canada's Landmass

This project continues to expand work on generating national scale datasets and knowledge regarding climate variability, ecosystem response and climate change impacts on Canada's landmass and natural resources in key areas and gaps identified by Canadian policymakers and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The research expertise and outputs will be used to a) inform national and international programs and process; b) improve knowledge regarding the nature and locations of historical, current, and potential future impacts of climate change, c) assist Canadians in understanding and adapting to climate change impacts on natural resources at a regional and national scale.

The project works closely with stakeholders from academia, key economic and natural resource sectors, professional institutions, and governments to improve understanding of climate-change issues and to deliver critical earth science knowledge and national scale information on climate variability and climate-change impacts over Canada's landmass for use by the science community and decision-makers.
