SASKATOON –The world is changing rapidly, and the past is no longer a guide to the future in terms of extreme events and floods. That’s one of the findings from a report on the Changing Cold . . .

More than 40 million people were driven from their homes by continued conflict and worsening weather in 2020 as the climate grew increasingly chaotic.

  SASKATOON -- The University of Saskatchewan (U of S) is hoping to improve western and northern Canada climate change predictions. Findings from the Changing Cold Regions Network (CCRN) – a collaboration between several universities, led by the U of S – suggest that climate change is making future extreme weather events difficult to predict. These disasters, such as wildfires or floods, will likely become more common and more severe, according to U of S research associate Chris DeBeer...

In countries like China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia — where hundreds of millions of people live on low-lying coastlines and deltas — a combination of population growth and urbanization has left...

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences is linking climate change to yet another environmental impact – longer lasting “dead zones” In lakes. According to the study, warm summer weather is the main driver behind longer periods of anoxia, or oxygen-starved water, in Lake Mendota. Each summer, many lakes settle into a condition called “stratification” – where two layers of water form, warmer, less dense water closer to the surface and colder, denser water down below. The layers remain sep...
