  • Evaluating Snowmelt Runoff Generation in a Discontinuous Permafrost
    Evaluating snowmelt runoff generation in a discontinuous Nordic Hydrology permafrost catchment using stable isotope, hydrochemical and hydrometric data* S.K. Carey1 and W.L. Quinton2 1Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada K1S 5B6 Vol 35 No 4 pp 309–324 E-mail: [email protected] 2Department of Geography, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada V5A 1S6 Received 1 November 2003; accepted in revised form 15 June 2004 Abstract Research on snowmelt runoff generation in discontinuous permafrost subarctic catchments has highlighted the role of: (i) permafrost in restricting deep percolation and sustaining near-surface water tables and (ii) the surface organic layer in rapidly conveying water to the stream. Conceptual models of runoff generation have largely been derived from hydrometric data, with isotope and hydrochemical data having only limited q application in delineating sources and pathways of water. In a small subarctic alpine catchment within the Wolf IWA Publishing 2004 Creek Research Basin, Yukon, Canada, snowmelt runoff generation processes were studied during 2002 using a mixed methods approach. Snowmelt timing varied between basin slopes, with south-facing exposures melting prior to permafrost-underlain north-facing slopes. The streamflow freshet period begain after 90% of snow had melted on the south-facing slope and coincided with the main melt period on the north-facing slope, indicating that contributing areas were largely defined by permafrost distribution. Stable isotope (d18O) and hydrochemical parameters (dissolved organic carbon, specific conductivity, pH) suggest that, at the beginning of the melt period, meltwater infiltrates soil pores and resides in temporary storage. As melt progresses and bare ground appears, thawing of soils and continued meltwater delivery to the slopes allows rapid drainage of this meltwater through surface organic layers.

  • Provincial Freshet and Flood Status
    Dashboard # Provincial Lead Contact: Media Relations contact: Provincial Freshet and Flood Status Manager, River Forecast Centre & Flood Safety Provincial Information Coordination Officer Date: June 24th, 2021, 4:00 pm Freshet 12 - George Roman Tyler Hooper 2021 Water Management Branch, Public Affairs Officer Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource [email protected] Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) 250-213-8172 [email protected] 250-896-2725 Provincial Summary Several streams and rivers are flowing higher this week than seasonal due the unprecedented historic heat resulting in a number of Flood Warnings, Flood Watches and High Streamflow Advisories. In general, stream flows will begin to recede over the next week. The Fraser River is expected to rise into the weekend; however, flows are forecast to remain below their earlier 2021 peaks. Provincial staff, local government staff, First Nations, and other parties continue to monitor the situation and support the implementation of flood emergency preparedness, response, and recovery. The public is advised to stay clear of all fast-flowing rivers and streams and potentially unstable riverbanks during spring high streamflow periods. Weather (Current and Forecast) Temperatures have reduced from the historic heat we recently experienced. As the ridge that resulted in the high temperatures moves east there is increased risk of instability leading to thunder and lightening. Limited precipitation is expected over the next several days. Flood Warnings and Advisories River Conditions and Outlook Flood Warning The historic heat event has led to historic snow melt. Many streams responded to the extreme heat and high elevation snow and glacial • Upper Fraser River melt.

Jaffe2 1 UNESCO-IHE, Delft, Netherlands 2 U.S. Geological Survey Rivers draining the Central Valley and Sierras of California, including the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, meet in the Delta before discharging into the northeastern end of the San Francisco Estuary. The Bay-Delta system is an important region for a) economic activities (ports, agriculture, and industry), b) human settling (the San Francisco Bay area hosts 7.15 million inhabitants) and c) ecosystems (the Delta area hosts several endemic species and is an important regional breeding and feeding environment). Human activities, including hydraulic mining and agriculture development have affected the Bay-Delta system over the past 150 years. Other examples of anthropogenic influence on the system are damming of rivers, channels dredging, land reclamation and levee construction. Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has varied considerably as a result of these activities. The change in SSC has a high impact on ecosystems by influencing light penetration that is closely related to primary production, contaminants distribution and marshland development. Better understanding of the spatial distribution and temporal variation of SSC opens the way to improved understanding ecosystem dynamics in the Bay-Delta system and to assess the impact of future developments such as water export, sea level rise and decreasing SSC levels.

  • Types of Flooding
    Designed for safer living® Focus on Types of flooding Designed for safer living® is a program endorsed by Canada’s insurers to promote disaster-resilient homes. About the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction The Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR), established in 1997, is a world-class centre for multidisciplinary disaster prevention research and communication. ICLR is an independent, not-for-profit research institute founded by the insurance industry and affiliated with Western University, London, Ontario. The Institute’s mission is to reduce the loss of life and property caused by severe weather and earthquakes through the identification and support of sustained actions that improve society’s capacity to adapt to, anticipate, mitigate, withstand and recover from natural disasters. ICLR’s mandate is to confront the alarming increase in losses caused by natural disasters and to work to reduce deaths, injuries and property damage. Disaster damage has been doubling every five to seven years since the 1960s, an alarming trend. The greatest tragedy is that many disaster losses are preventable. ICLR is committed to the development and communication of disaster prevention knowledge. For the individual homeowner, this translates into the identification of natural hazards that threaten them and their home. The Institute further informs individual homeowners about steps that can be taken to better protect their family and their homes.

Regenerative and biocentric designs fostering urban ecological habitats including food webs that provide ecosystem services for people and wildlife increasingly are being sought. However, the intentional design of urban landscapes for food webs remains in an early stage with few precedents and many challenges. In this paper, we explore the potential to design (for) urban food webs through collaborations between designers and ecologists. We start by examining the ecology and management of Jamaica Bay in New York City as a case study of an anthropogenic landscape where ecosystems are degraded and the integrity of extant food webs are intertwined with human agency. A subsequent design competition focusing on ecological design and management of this large-scale landscape for animal habitat and ecosystem Edited by: services for people illustrates how designers approach this anthropogenic landscape. Mary L.
