Comment - Lake Winnipeg, Then and Now: Another Perspective
(unpublished, 2007-12)
The 2006 Lake Winnipeg Stewardship Board Report is used, together with a paper and reports by Dr. G. J. Brunskill and his colleagues, to assess change in the nutrient status of Lake Winnipeg since the late 1960's and early ...
A Loosely-Coupled Collaborative Integrated Environmental Modelling Framework
(Government of Canada, Environment Canada, 2009)
Integration of environmental models requires full support of the modelling community. When a large number of models are integrated, it requires consistency within scale, datasets, and model to model interactions to minimize ...
Improving Lake Winnipeg Integrated Environment Modelling with OpenMI
(Government of Canada, Environment Canada, 2009)
We have applied OpenMI standards for two lake models applied to Lake Winnipeg to improve interactions among models and model calibration. These two models are OneLay and PolTra, which combine to form a 2-D horizontal, ...
Projected Climate Impacts on Snow Depths and Discharges In the Lake Winnipeg Watershed
(Government of Canada, Environment Canada, 2011)
A number of studies have documented recent trends toward earlier spring snowmelt (e.g. Brown, 2000) and a decline in snow cover extent (Dery and Brown, 2007) across many regions of the Northern Hemisphere in response to ...
Development of an Information Portal for the Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative
(Government of Canada, Environment Canada, 2011)
The Lake Winnipeg Basin Initiative was created as part of Canada’s
Action Plan on clean water. Its focus is to deal with excessive lake inputs of nutrients from surface runoff and municipal wastewater. Understanding the ...
Advances in the Integration of Watershed and Lake Modeling in the Lake Winnipeg Basin
(Government of Canada, 2010)
Estimating non-point source pollution from watersheds and the effects of mitigation measures (e.g. beneficial management practices or BMPs) is an important step in managing and
protecting water quality, not only at the ...
Lake Manitoba and its Watershed: Knowledge Gaps & Next Steps
(University of Winnipeg, 2016-03)
Lake Manitoba is a large, shallow prairie lake located in central Manitoba. The lake and watershed are
subject to numerous environmental pressures including climate change, land use change, and regulation
of water ...
Climate Change in the Hudson Bay Complex: Opportunities and Vulnerabilities for the Port of Churchill's Marine Operations
(University of Manitoba, Centre for Earth Observation Science, 2016-02)
This climate-impact assessment was completed by researchers at the University of Manitoba’s
Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) with financial support from Transport Canada.
This work is one component of a broader ...
Climate Change and the Arctic Archaeological Record: An ArchaeoGeophysical Approach to Assess Site Stability and Predict Future Impact- Report on Work Conducted Under Nunavut Archaeological Permit No. 2014-22A
(University of Manitoba, 2014)
This report describes archaeogeophysical fieldwork activities conducted on July 15, 2014
at the LdFa-1 site under Nunavut Archaeologist Permit 2014-22A. This research was
carried out in conjunction with a larger ongoing ...
A two-way calibration of the SWAT and OneLay/PolTra models using integrated modelling approach for the Lake Winnipeg Basin
(Government of Canada, Environment Canada, 2011-12)
Lake Winnipeg is Canada's sixth largest lake and the world's 10th largest freshwater lake with a surface area of 24,500 km2. The Lake experiences eutrophication and increasing algal blooms due likely to nutrient loadings ...
