Proper management of blue and green water resources is important for the sustainability of
ecosystems and for the socio-economic development of river basins such as the Athabasca …

Changes in water resources within basins can significantly impact ecosystems, agriculture,
and biodiversity, among others. Basins in northern Canada have a cold climate, and the …

Abstract The Mackenzie River, Canada's longest and largest river system, provides the
greatest Western Hemisphere discharge to the Arctic Ocean. Recent reports of declining …

River flow monitoring is a critical task for land management, agriculture, fishery, industry,
and other concerns. Herein, a robust least squares triple cross-wavelet analysis is proposed …

Exploitation of the Alberta oil sands, the world's third-largest crude oil reserve, requires fresh
water from the Athabasca River, an allocation of 4.4% of the mean annual flow. This …

Study region This study is focused on the lower Athabasca Basin in northwestern Canada
that has experienced rapid expansion of oil sands development. Study focus The goal of this …

Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been successfully adopted in predictive modeling
to capture the nonlinearity of natural systems. The high seasonal variability of rivers in cold …

This study demonstrates the importance of the including and appropriately parameterizing
peatlands and forestlands for basin‐scale integrated surface–subsurface models in the …

It has been proposed that global warming will amplify the water cycle and intensify river
floods. We tested this hypothesis by investigating historic trends in magnitudes, durations …

In cold region environments, any alteration in the hydro-climatic regime can have profound
impacts on river ice processes. This paper studies the implications of hydro-climatic trends …
