Biophysical Site Description The Great Lakes pine barrens system is endemic to very dry, nutrient-impoverished landscape ecosystems. These ecosystems occur in landforms deposited by high-energy glacial melt waters, principally outwash plains and glacial lakebeds, underlain by well-sorted, coarse-textured sandy soils with low water retaining capacity. They also occur in bedrock-controlled landforms with shallow soils of limited moisture storage capacity (Cleland et al.

  • Hydrological Extremes in the Canadian Prairies in the Last Decade Due to the ENSO Teleconnection—A Comparative Case Study Using WRF
    water Article Hydrological Extremes in the Canadian Prairies in the Last Decade due to the ENSO Teleconnection—A Comparative Case Study Using WRF Soumik Basu * , David J. Sauchyn and Muhammad Rehan Anis Prairie Adaptation Research Collaborative, Regina, SK S4S 0A2, Canada; [email protected] (D.J.S.); [email protected] (M.R.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 8 September 2020; Accepted: 21 October 2020; Published: 23 October 2020 Abstract: In the Prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, agricultural production depends on winter and spring precipitation. There is large interannual variability related to the teleconnection between the regional hydroclimate and El Niño and La Niña in the Tropical Pacific. A modeling experiment was conducted to simulate climatic and hydrological parameters in the Canadian Prairie region during strong El Niño and La Niña events of the last decade in 2015–2016 and 2010–2011, respectively. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was employed to perform two sets of sensitivity experiments with a nested domain at 10 km resolution using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis (ERA) interim data as the lateral boundary forcing. Analysis of the hourly model output provides a detailed simulation of the drier winter, with less soil moisture in the following spring, during the 2015–2016 El Niño and a wet winter during the La Niña of 2010–2011. The high-resolution WRF simulation of these recent weather events agrees well with observations from weather stations and water gauges. Therefore, we were able to take advantage of the WRF model to simulate recent weather with high spatial and temporal resolution and thus study the changes in hydrometeorological parameters across the Prairie during the two extreme hydrological events of the last decade.

  • Diversification & Western Canada's Economic Future
    A SYNTHESIS REPORT OF THE FALL 2011 HONOURABLE JAMES A. RICHARDSON DISCOVERY ROUNDTABLES Who cares about baskets? We’ve got eggs! Diversification & Western Canada’s Economic Future FEBRUARY 2011 Michael Holden, Senior Economist About the James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables Among the many civic contributions made by the Honourable James A. Richardson during his lifetime was his role as one of the four founders of the Canada West Foundation. In fact, it was a suggestion by Minister Richardson at the One Prairie Province Conference in 1970 that led to the creation of the Canada West Foundation as a registered charity on December 31, 1970. Launched in 2006 with the intention of being held on an annual basis, the purpose of the Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables is to seek out new thinking to strengthen the voice of western Canadians. Informal but intense, the discussions are designed to engage a small group of individuals with a background in, and a passion for, the topic under discussion. The intent of the Roundtables is to look over the horizon and gain a sense of the policy challenges to come, and how the Canada West Foundation’s research agenda might be better positioned to address those challenges. The Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables are made possible by the Richardson family’s contribution to the Canada West Foundation Founder’s Endowment Fund. The Canada West Foundation expresses its sincere appreciation for this generous support. This report is part of the Canada West Foundation’s ongoing Honourable James A. Richardson Discovery Roundtables. The report was prepared by Canada West Foundation Senior Economist Michael Holden.

This unit serves as an introduction to the topic and provides a baseline for further study. The unit begins with four introductory lessons each of which may last from two to five sessions. The focus of these lessons is on four major pre-Columbian settlements, including the cliff dwellers and pueblo people of the desert Southwest, the American Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the nomadic nations of the Great Plains, and the woodland peoples east of the Mississippi River. This part of the unit is based around the Retrieval Chart for American Indian Studies. (Refer to page 9.) Lesson 1: The Desert Southwest Indians Lesson 2: The Pacific Northwest Indians Lesson 3: The Plains Indians Lesson 4: The Eastern Woodlands Indians Using print and digital sources, students gather relevant information (on the physical characteristics of the region; distinct types of homes and shelters; foods; tools and weapons; and, customs and traditions), summarize or paraphrase the information in notes, and provide a list of their sources.
