  • The Great Maritimes Blizzard of February 18-19, 2004
    The Great Maritimes Blizzard of February 18-19, 2004 Chris Fogarty Atlantic Storm Prediction Centre, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia Introduction On 18 February 2004 an intense low pressure system formed well south of Nova Scotia as cold air from eastern North America clashed with the relatively warm waters of the Gulf Stream. The storm moved northeastward passing south of Nova Scotia and over Sable Island. A vast area of heavy snow and high winds swept across Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and southeast New Brunswick bringing blizzard conditions and record snowfalls. Widespread amounts of 60 to 90 cm (24 to 36 inches, 2 to 3 feet) were experienced bringing Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island to a standstill. States of emergency were put into effect across these provinces in order for emergency officials to perform their duties and clean up the mammoth snowfall. It took days for many urban streets and highways to be cleared. 1. The Synoptic Situation A storm track map is shown in Fig. 1 with a time series of minimum sea level pressure in the inset based on analyses at the Maritimes Weather Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The storm formed approximately 200 km southeast of Cape Hatteras, NC at 00 UTC 18 February. It then moved to the northeast at 35-40 km/h, attaining its lowest sea level pressure of 959 mb at 18 UTC 19 February 250 km southeast of Halifax, NS (Fig. 2). Fig. 1.

  • Planning for Sea-Level Rise in Halifax Harbour Adaptation Measures Can Be Incrementally Adjusted As New Information Becomes Available
    i t y i fa x a l P a l h ional Munici eg r Photo courtesy of Planning for sea-level rise in halifax harbour Adaptation measures can be incrementally adjusted as new information becomes available Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM), the capital of Nova Scotia, is Atlantic Canada’s largest city. The municipality covers more than 5500 km2 and has a population of more than 390 000. Halifax Harbour, at the heart of HRM, is a major seaport with significant industrial, military and municipal infrastructure. Rising sea level, along with increased storm intensity and associated waves and storm surges, presents risks to damaging storms residents, property and infrastructure in coastal areas of In recent years, Halifax has experienced frequent extreme HRM. Following extreme weather events in September weather, including several major storms that caused 2003 and February 2004, HRM launched ClimateSMART extensive erosion and flood damage. Most notable was (Sustainable Mitigation & Adaptation Risk Toolkit) to help Hurricane Juan in September 2003, a “once-in-a-century” mainstream climate change mitigation and adaptation into event. This Category 2 hurricane made landfall just west municipal planning and decision making. ClimateSMART of Halifax and tracked across central Nova Scotia and initiated discussion of climate change and spurred further Prince Edward Island, leaving a trail of damage to property, adaptation action. infrastructure and the environment (cost estimated at In August 2006, the HRM Council adopted the Regional $200 million).

  • Examining the Effect of Visualization Tool Exposure on Local-Level Stakeholder Perceptions on Climate Change Adaptation
    Examining the Effect of Visualization Tool Exposure on Local-level Stakeholder Perceptions on Climate Change Adaptation by Maliha Majeed A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Geography Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 © Maliha Majeed 2015 AUTHOR’S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii ABSTRACT Vulnerabilities of human communities, driven by environmental, social, economic, and political dynamics, vary across geographical and social regions. Coastal communities are considered to be among those greatest at risk from climate impacts. To cope with these impacts, communities must assess existing vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities, and begin to adapt. Currently, community-based research often focuses on identifying vulnerabilities and possible adaptations, but rarely examines how local-level stakeholders perceive adaptation-based needs and potential action. This research study focuses on Lennox Island, in Prince Edward Island and the Town of Lockeport, in Nova Scotia to examine how two innovative visualization tools, CLIVE and AdaptNS, influence stakeholder perceptions on climate change adaptation. This study explores whether tool exposure changes perceptions of awareness and priorities for potential action among local-level decision-makers and stakeholders. It further explores which aspects of the visualization tools resonate among local-level decision-makers. This research builds on existing vulnerability assessment information established through the Partnership for Canada-Caribbean Community Climate Change Adaptation (ParCA) research project and uses a methodological approach involving semi-structured interviews and community-based workshops with local-level decision-makers and community stakeholders, respectively.

  • Bringing Adaptation Home: Citizen Engagements with Climate Change at Home Site Scales in Ottawa and Halifax
    Bringing adaptation home: Citizen engagements with climate change at home site scales in Ottawa and Halifax by Magdalene Goemans A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario ©2018 Magdalene Goemans ABSTRACT Climate change impacts are becoming increasingly evident in cities, generating hazards such as heatwaves and flooding events that may cause discomfort or trauma for residents. Climate change scholars suggest that measures undertaken on private lands provide a significant counterpart to public adaptation initiatives, and increasingly position the home site as an important scale of analysis within climate change research (Bichard & Kazmiercak, 2009; Jeffers, 2014; Pyhala et al., 2016; Wilson et al., 2014). Select scholars have also considered how municipalities may effectively engage with citizens to encourage greater home-based responses to climate-related hazards (Groulx et al., 2014; Hjerpe et al., 2014; Klein, 2014). This thesis explores citizen perspectives of climate change impacts, risk and opportunities for adaptation that are based at the scale of the urban home site in two mid- sized Canadian cities, Ottawa and Halifax. Through a qualitative research approach of discourse analysis, this thesis explores several distinct but related sub-themes: (1) how residents understand local places of climate change impacts and risk; (2) how residents engage with home site natures within

  • Prince Edward Island Annual Climate Summary 2016
    Climate Research Lab Prince Edward Island Annual Climate Summary 2016 Figure 1–Storm Surge, North Rustico, November 27, 2016 Background The UPEI Climate Research Lab is in the process for establishing a meso-network of climate stations located in key locations across the province. This can help reduce model uncertainties in temperature and precipitation variances and to provide reference ground truth data to aid in the evaluation of climate model simulations and to enable assessment of micro-climate environments in the province. More localized data from these stations will be of assistance to those who depend on high quality climate data to make more informed decisions. In 2016 the UPEI Climate Research Lab expanded its network of climate monitoring stations by adding 3 new stations in geographic areas without a pre-existing climate station. The first one is a new UPEI station located at Acadian Machine Works in Tignish (UP18) and is equipped with Davis Vantage Pro 2 plus equipment which has instrumentation to measure temperature, precipitation, barometric pressure, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, solar radiation and UV Index. Two new private stations were also added to the network. The first one is at an organic vegetable farm at Hope River (UP19) and the second is at a residential home and observatory located at Mill Cove (UP20). The data collected is being compiled in a database called COADE, which in addition to climate data also stores coastal erosion and tide logger data. This database is not yet available to the public.
