GWFO will be at #CWRA2026 representing the growing network of water scientists in Canada's premier freshwater research facility providing long-term water monitoring, informing decision makers with up-to-date science, and supporting regional drought, flood, and wildfire forecasting.
Forests catch a lot of snowfall, but how that snow is stored, lost, or melts varies widely by climate. GWFO observation sites Marmot Creek and Fortress Mountain provided data for improving models that help to better predict water supply and climate impacts. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

With high waters coming to the South Sask. River, some water sport groups are being forced to make a change while others benefit from the rise. Officials warn it may be dangerous.
Higher-than-normal mountain snowpack in Alberta is expected to bring relief to Saskatchewan following years of drought-like conditions in some areas. John Pomeroy, a professor at the University of Sas...
