Cold regions provide water resources for half the global population yet face rapid change.
Their hydrology is dominated by snow, ice and frozen soils, and climate warming is having …

The interior of western Canada, like many similar cold mid-to high-latitude regions
worldwide, is undergoing extensive and rapid climate and environmental change, which …

Spin‐up is essential to provide initial conditions for land surface models (LSM) when they
cannot be given reliably as in the application to regional permafrost change studies. In this …

Hydrologic-land surface models (H-LSMs) offer a physically-based framework for
representing and predicting the present and future states of the extensive high-latitude …

This study is a meta-analysis of recent global research articles on hydrogeochemical
modelling of permafrost regions to determine trends and consensus on research gaps and …

Permafrost thaw/degradation in the Northern Hemisphere due to global warming is
projected to accelerate in coming decades. Assessment of this trend requires improved …

Operational flood forecasting in Canada is a provincial responsibility that is carried out by
several entities across the country. However, the increasing costs and impacts of floods …

As climate change intensifies, soil water flow, heat transfer, and solute transport in the active,
unfrozen zones within permafrost and seasonally frozen ground exhibit progressively more …

Climate warming exacerbates the degradation of the mountain cryosphere, including glacier
retreat, permafrost degradation, and snow cover reduction. These changes dramatically alter …

ABSTRACT Both the Canadian Land Surface Scheme (CLASS) and the Soil, Vegetation,
and Snow (SVS) land surface models employ a potentially problematic discretization of …
