How has climate and the water cycle of western Canada changed over the past fifty years? How might it change over the next decades?

Join us as Dr. Chris DeBeer from the Global Institute for Water Security (https://www.usask.ca/water/ ) discusses research compiled by Changing Cold Regions Network on recent climatic, cryospheric, and hydrological changes of western Canada, and makes bold predictions on how this land might be changed in the decades to come.
