Disentangling impacts climate change and human interventions hydrology key Canadian watersheds
June 27, 2018 - 3:30pm
This presentation will explore climate change and flow regulation impacts on daily and annual river discharge variations and trends into Hudson Bay, the Nechako and Fraser River Basins over the past half-century or so. The first part of the talk will focus on the 3.7 million km2 Hudson Bay drainage basin for which daily observed streamflow data from the Water Survey of Canada, Manitoba Hydro, Ontario Power Generation and Hydro-Québec for 21 rivers are used in the analyses spanning 1960-2016.
Renewable natural gas - unlocking local government potential in BC
June 15, 2018 - 9:30am to 11:30am
Natural gas is the source of one-quarter of the British Columbia’s greenhouse gas emissions. But there is another way to generate this energy that could provide substantial emissions reductions: renewable natural gas (RNG), derived from diverse organic waste sources.
Infrastructure for a low-carbon planet
May 15, 2018 - 3:30pm to 4:30pm
This talk will also be available remotely using BlueJeans video conferencing software.
The Future of Fishes and Fisheries in the Changing Ocean
May 3, 2018 - 11:30am to 1:00pm
Reducing climate impacts in industrial buildings
April 25, 2018 - 3:30pm to 4:30pm
Please join us for a presentation from Stephanie Wall, who will discuss using wood construction and passive house design to decrease the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and environmental impacts in the building sector.
Health Impacts of Heat: Adapting to a Changing Climate
April 18, 2018 - 12:00pm to 1:30pm
With Gregory Wellenius, Associate Professor of Epidemiology, Brown University
Germany’s energy transition and cities: Economic insights and good policy

Seasonal glacier mass balance from airborne laser altimetry, Columbia River Basin, Canada
March 20, 2018 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm
Reliable estimates of glacier mass balance allow insight into the meteorological drivers of glacier change, but financial and logistical limitations restrict field-based measurements to only a small number of the world’s glaciers. In southwestern Canada, frequent cloud cover and small glacier size also preclude the measurement of seasonal mass change from space. Here, we describe our ongoing research program employing airborne laser altimetry to estimate surface mass balance for six alpine glaciers in the Columbia Basin.
New energy and mobility futures with Ethan Zindler
March 13, 2018 - 1:30pm to 2:30pm
Globally, renewable power and electric vehicle technology is evolving rapidly. As these technologies are adopted, they promise to reshape the face of energy and mobility in cities. Join us for a conversation with Ethan Zindler, Head of Americas for Bloomberg New Energy Finance, as we discuss the trends and economics driving the renewable energy transition.
