Fraser King is studying what deep learning algorithms can teach us about snow, especially annual snowfall and snowmelt in the context of climate change. , which he undertook with a team of researchers that included Christopher Fletcher, his PhD supervisor and À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ Climate Institute member, he put forward his new weather modelling program under the name DeepPrecip.

A new report by University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ researchers, Truzaar Dordi and IC3 member Olaf Weber, found that the top 10 most influential actors, including investment advisors, governments, and sovereign wealth funds from around the world, own 49.5 per cent of potential emissions from the world's largest energy firms. Their work outlines the decisive role they can play in helping de-carbonize our future. Read the full story on À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ NewsÌý²¹²Ô»åÌý.

Congratulations to IC3 members, Allison Kelly, Daniel Henstra, Peter Johnson and Warren Dodd, who were awarded funding by Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) to support research that addresses environmental inequality, economic sustainability and Indigenous language revitalization.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has released the third report for its sixth major assessment of the science of climate change; Climate Change 2022: Mitigation of Climate Change. Sarah Burch, Executive Director at IC3 and professor of Geography and Environmental Management, is a lead author for Chapter 17: Accelerating the transition in the context of sustainable development. Learn more about where we are in terms of our global greenhouse gas emissions and Burch's contributions. 

A new study co-authored by IC3 member Nandita Basu shows that human-managed streams in Canada and the U.S. have been found to have significantly different flow patterns compared to streams in natural watersheds. 

New report co-authored by Blair Feltmate, IC3 member and head of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, provides recommendations on how Canadians can limit flood risk. 

A new study by IC3 member, Nandita Basu, provides a roadmap to overcome the challenges associated with legacy nitrogen for faster improvements to our water quality. 

On February 9, Health Canada announced the release of which will help inform policy development focused on protecting Canadians from the effects of climate change. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the latest research on how climate-related hazards are affecting our health and wellbeing. This reports also documents the increasing risks and new information on Indigenous health impacts, mental health, health equity, and health system resilience. To find out more and continue the conversation, join IC3 on March 9 for an informative discussion with lead authors and a panel of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ's climate change and health experts. 

As witnessed in recent weeks, rising seas, swollen atmospheric rivers and post-tropical storms are a threat to community infrastructure, housing and the safety of those living along Canada’s east and west coasts. In response,  from the , presents practical solutions to limit the financial and social costs of these evolving risks.

À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ researchers contribute to new science led by Nature United, which concluded that by protecting, better managing, and restoring nature, Canada can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. The new study, , published in shows that Natural Climate Solutions can help Canada mitigate up to 78 Mt CO₂e annually in 2030—an amount equal to the current greenhouse gas emissions from powering every single home in Canada for about three years.
