Glacier recession linkages to changing snow and warming climate studied by CCRN researchers
Glaciers in the Canadian Rockies continue to retreat as the climate warms, despite recent high snowpack years and even historic wet conditions leading to floods. An arcticle in the Calgary Herald reports on the results of studies of these glaciers and their hydrology by Shawn Marshall of the University of Calgary, Mike Demuth of Natural Resources Canada, John Pomeroy of the University of Saskatchewan, along with discussion of the water resource implications by Robert Sandford of the Centre for Hydrology, U of S.
