Climatological trends and predictions in snowfall over the Canadian snowbelts of the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin
(University of Waterloo, 2018-06-11)The leeward shores of the Laurentian Great Lakes are highly susceptible to lake-induced snowfall that is either driven by extratropical cyclones or lake effect processes. During the late autumn and winter season, cold air ... -
Developing a radar-based machine learning snowfall retrieval algorithm
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-03)As global temperatures continue to rise, snowfall patterns are expected to respond in a complex, nonlinear manner. Changes in the quantity of snowmelt-derived freshwater will impact global water-energy budgets, flood ... -
The ecological effects of the cleared boundaries of Bruce Peninsula National Park
(University of Waterloo, 2009-11-19)Bruce Peninsula National Park (BPNP) clears a 2 m swath of trees on the boundary in order to make it clear when one is entering the park from any neighbouring land; this in particular aims to protect the park and its ... -
Improving Predictions of Precipitation Phase over Canada with the Development of a Spatially Aware Parameterization of Rain/Snow Partitioning
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-30)Partitioning precipitation into rain or snow is an important aspect of hydrologic and climatological modelling, affecting a wide variety of downstream processes (Harpold et al., 2017). Current conventional methods typically ...
