Wolf Creek 25 Year Science Summit


    Alpine station located in Wolf Creek Research Basin near Whitehorse, YT.

    On September 28/29, 2017, past and future researchers, alongside collaborators and government partners, met in Whitehorse to celebrate 25 years of research and scientific advancements made at the Wolf Creek Research Basin (WCRB).

    In 1992, WCRB was established to provide Yukoners with evidence-based science for decision making in the areas of water, climate and the biosphere. Since its inception, WCRB has helped to forge new paths of understanding for hydrology and biophysical processes. The basin is an internationally renowned climate change research area, recognized by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health. The basin in one of Canada’s leading research observations for studying cold climate environments.

    WCRB has become a highly regarded teaching and learning laboratory where data from this site is used around the globe. This site is where the Cold Regions Hydrological Model was started and largely developed, allowing researchers to improve the understanding of the water cycle and how climate change is impacting the flows of water and thaw of permafrost. WCRB was also the place where researchers pioneered the first hydrological data-gathering Arctic research drone.

    Although WCRB was originally used as a way to study water flows in northern climates, after 25 years of climate change, it has provided researchers with an opportunity to better understand how climate change is causing changes in streamflow, such as the increased flooding that causes washouts of Yukon’s Dempster Highway. This data is also being used to develop better flood forecasting models that Yukon Environment can use for flood forecasts and disaster warnings. 

    Distinguished researchers involved with the inception of WCRB continue to be involved to this day, including John Pomeroy (University of Saskatchewan), Ric Janowicz (Yukon Environment) and Sean Carey (McMaster University). Looking forward, observations and data from 25 years of research will be the foundation for future research with the pan-Canadian Global Water Futures program and Yukon Government. This research will provide Yukoners and Canadians with a sustainable, healthy and educated way to manage and monitor our freshwater resources.
