SUMMARY:Infectious Disease and Climate Change Webinar: Surveillance of Neglected Mosquito- and Tick-Borne Pathogens in Southern Manitoba
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 14\, 2023\n9:00am PST \n\nIt is predicted that southern Manitoba will experience dramatic climate changes by 2050\, likely to increase the burden of infectious diseases. Of concern is the invasion of medically important pathogens that are transmitted to humans by tick and mosquito species ubiquitous in the province\, but currently neglected in provincial surveillance programs. The pathogens causing these diseases are harboured by established tick or mosquito populations but are not subjected to active or passive surveillance. This study provided information on the seasonal population dynamics of neglected vector species and their microbiomes and highlights how a changing climate can impact the distribution and prevalence of vectors and pathogens.\n\n\nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!

SUMMARY:Adaptation Pathways in Action: Establishing “Thresholds” to Create Pathways to Resilience
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 6\, 2023\n8:00am PST \nThis webinar is the second in a series of three featuring practical experiences in implementing “adaptation pathways (AP)\,” a much-discussed approach to planning under uncertainty. Intended for practitioners\, this webinar dives into the AP playbook to discuss a core feature: the development of “thresholds.” Thresholds show at what point along a pathway a place is no longer resilient due to changing conditions. It identifies when a set of actions must be replaced or supplemented for a community to remain resilient (and change “pathways”). \nOur practitioner speakers will share their experience using AP in planning and zero in on how they went about defining resilience thresholds. This conversation will reference the closely linked subject of our third webinar\, scheduled for May\, which will focus on the development of “triggers\,” real time monitoring that can indicate when a shoreline is approaching its threshold of vulnerability and therefore needs to make planning adjustments. \nThe webinar will feature multiple opportunities to ask questions of speakers and for discussion. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Risk and Return on Investment Tool (RROIT)
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 24\, 2023\n10am – 11am PST \nThe Risk and Return on Investment Tool (RROIT) is a multi-flood hazard decision-support tool that helps municipalities\, property owners\, investors and watershed agencies manage their flood-related risks. The new RROIT Water Quality Module is useful for municipalities conducting long-range planning and cost estimating for stormwater pond maintenance. The Water Quality Module evaluates the sediment accumulation in stormwater ponds. RROIT uses data many communities already have at their disposal to identify flood and erosion risks under current climate conditions and for a range of future climate change scenarios. RROIT calculates the potential financial losses associated with flood- and erosion-related impacts and produces maps and supporting information to prioritize areas for attention. \nThis webinar will provide an overview on the inputs required to run RROIT\, show the existing suite of mapping available in RROIT\, the process of engaging Risk Sciences International (RSI) to implement the tool\, and demonstrate what the output map-based products look like to regional municipalities in Southern Ontario. The presenters will also illustrate how to use these products to support decision-makers in Asset Management Planning and valuation to meet the requirements of Reg 588/17. \nRegister for this webinar on Zoom!

SUMMARY:An Observational Constraint to Reduce Uncertainty on Global and Regional Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 15\n10:00 – 11:00am PST\nZoom \nMany studies have sought to constrain climate projections and climate sensitivity based on recent observations. Until recently\, these constraints had limited impact\, and projected warming ranges were driven primarily by model outputs. Here\, the presenter describes a new statistical method to narrow uncertainty on estimates of past and future human-induced warming. The approach can be viewed as an adaptation of Kalman Filtering (or Kriging) for Climate Change. The definition of what we call “signal” and “noise” are different from those used in typical weather forecasting systems\, but then the formalism is pretty similar\, and estimation of the “model error” and “observational error” covariance matrices play a central role. This approach allows us to simultaneously attribute historical changes to specific forcings (attribution) and constrain projections. It provides a consistent picture of on-going changes\, through merging model simulations and observations in a Bayesian fashion. Cross-validation suggests that this method produces robust results and is not overconfident. \nThe presenter will describe a few recent applications of this method. Investigation of GSAT changes contributed to the introduction of observational constraints in the IPCC AR6 (one study among others). Historical observations narrow uncertainty on projected future warming by about 50%. More recently\, the same technique was used to provide constrained local scale projections — which is a step forward from the AR6 — which the presenter will illustrate using a specific application over mainland France. Even at the local scale\, observational constraints narrow uncertainty on future warming\, and that local observations provide useful information. The presenter will briefly browse a few other applications\, including some related to the water cycle. The presenter will finish with some perspective and implications of this work. \nRegister for this event on Zoom!

SUMMARY:Climate Change and Fire Management
DESCRIPTION:January 31\, 2023\n9:00am – 10:00am PST\n \nClimate Services Speaker Series: Climate Change and Fire Management\, Dr. Mike Flannigan \nOur climate and associated day-to-day weather are changing rapidly due to human activities that may have dramatic and unexpected impacts on regional and global fire activity. A warmer world means a longer fire season\, more lightning activity\, and most importantly drier fuels. Drier fuels means it is easier for a fire to start\, to spread and it means more fuel is available to burn that leads to higher intensity fires that are difficult to impossible to extinguish. Existing studies suggest regional increases in fire occurrence and area burned although there is significant temporal and spatial variability. Our fire regime is driven by extremes\, and we expect an increase in frequency and intensity of extreme fire weather episodes. Climate change will likely mean more wildfire in the future for many regions of the world including Canada. We will have to learn to live with wildfire. \nJeremy Fyke will discuss an ongoing project to develop future projections of fire weather indices across Canada under climate change. \nNote that the official webinar will run from 12PM to 1PM ET\, however you are welcome to join us for an unofficial question and discussion period from 1PM to 1:30PM ET. This session will be delivered in English. \nRegister for this webinar on Microsoft Teams.
