IP0159 - The potential impacts of climate change on snow avalanche hazards on the Trans-Canada Highway in Glacier National Park. (.pdf - 52KB)

The potential change in the future frequency of large magnitude avalanche events reaching the Trans-Canada Highway (TCH) within Glacier National Park (GNP) was assessed, as a function of projected climate change for the 2090s (2080-2099), for a mid-range Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) emissions scenario (RCP4.5). Based on these average modelled changes to the frequency of large magnitude [...]

IP0177 - Un portal de datos en Internet para las comunidades del norte y los responsables de la toma de decisiones: Las redes de carreteras y senderos de invierno en el Norte Territorial de Canadá (.pdf - 91KB)

Climate change is one of the major threats to transportation systems in the Canadian North. One area in which remote indigenous communities are particularly at risk to the impacts of climate change is with regards to their reliance on winter roads and trails. The winter road/trail networks in Canada’s Territorial North encompass seasonal roads and trails that are usable only during the winter. Winter [...]
