Impact of climate change on the winter regime of the Peace River in Alberta

Description

The effect of climate change on natural processes in the environment can be very difficult to quantify and is often of great interest to regulators and users of water resources in particular. River ice conditions along the Peace River in Alberta directly affect both the population and industries in its vicinity. As the Peace River is regulated for hydropower generation, there is a degree of human influence over the variables that determine the winter regime of the river. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a model capable of simulating thermal ice processes on northern rivers, which could, in turn, provide a means of assessing climate change effects on river ice.
