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...
Work carried out by GWF and GWFO team members @uwaterloo.ca found that understanding how winter peatland emissions reduce their carbonāstorage capacity is crucial for improving climate predictions and managing a major global carbon sink
