Title:
High resolution climate modelling and analysis of the St. Lawrence seaway in current and future climates
Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:
$55,101.00
Agreement Date:
Oct 13, 2020 - Aug 31, 2022
Description:
One of the major barriers to studies focussed on adapting engineering systems to a changing climate is the lack of information at the spatial and temporal scales required for engineering applications. Planning and adapting marine transportation and infrastructure in the St. Lawrence Seaway is highly dependent on the availability of such information. This Project, through high-resolution regional climate model simulations of current and future climates, and advanced and targeted diagnostics to understand hot spots from vulnerability and opportunity view-points, will generate new and relevant information of importance to marine transportation in the St. Lawrence corridor. Furthermore, as an integral part of NRC-OCRE’s master project focussed at developing a new climate risk information system for the St. Lawrence River and Gulf, this Project will provide critical climate change information required to drive numerical modelling investigations of climate change effects on waves, storm surges and ice.
