Eos: Quit Worrying About Uncertainty in Sea Level Projections
A new article in Eos provides an excellent discuss on how to understand uncertainty in the context of modeling earth systems.
Get Involved with Canada 1 Water!
To broaden the number of project collaborators, the project has an ongoing series of engagement meetings with potential collaborators.
C1W Team Meetings
To provide technical exchange within the project team, monthly science talks are held to provide ongoing context for project participants.
Dataset Dev: Dec 2021 Update
Much of the work in the first year of the project is centered on data set development. This includes identification of data sources, normalization of data for common resolution across the six watersheds and reclassification and attribution to support project modelling.
Regional Updates - Overview of C1W Basins
Canada 1 Water (C1W) proposed modelling all of continental Canada in an integrated fashion. To achieve the desired model resolutions and computational efficiencies, the country has been divided into six large basins that range in size from 1.7 to 2.3 million km2.
Climate Projections Drive C1W
Weather and climate are the primary drivers of hydrology and as such of critical importance to the mission of Canada 1 Water. The C1W climate modeling team will take advantage of the latest set of global climate projections and use projections from several leading international climate modeling centers as boundary conditions for high-resolution regional climate projections, specifically for Canada.
Research for Industries (RFI) Lecture Series: Steven K. Frey
Aquanty, which is a research spin off from the University of Waterloo, is at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art fully-integrated hydrologic models to better understand and predict water resource behavior and availability under both near term weather, and long term climate change scenarios. Aquanty’s flagship software platform, HydroGeoSphere (HGS), is a state-of-the-art fully-integrated GW-SW simulator that can couple with both weather forecasts and future climate scenarios in order to derive predictive insight on water resources. As part of the continental scale Canada 1 Water (C1W) project, HGS models are being built for all of Canada.
