Water Temperature, River Discharge, and Adult Sockeye Salmon Migration Observ...
Water temperature, river discharge, and adult sockeye salmon migration observations in the Babine watershed, 1946-2014. Historical meteorological and hydrological data were assembled to review the influence of changes in these environmental factors on... -
WWF - Watershed Report: Skeena Sub-Watershed 2017
WWF has completed the first Canada-wide assessment of the country’s watersheds, focusing on four indicators of river health and seven key threats. The resources below link to the WWF Watershed Reports at a national level and provide access to the detailed... -
Upper Bulkley and Morice Water and Salmon Sustainability Views: Inventory of ...
In the Upper Bulkley and Morice basins of the Skeena watershed, climate change and human induced stresses are contributing to the degradation of aquatic resources, including salmon populations. It is apparent that collaborative efforts to better manage and... -
Streamflow Trends in the Skeena Region
This report is intended to improve the ability of the proponents of major projects (e.g., mines, run-of-river power projects) and the responsible regulatory agencies to address the potential impacts to the project resulting from streamflow regime changes.... -
Skeena River Estuary Assessment Project
This project assessed key pressures on salmon habitat in the Skeena River estuary. The authors used benchmarks to assess the status of salmon habitat indicators and identified critical knowledge gaps and future monitoring needs. -
Review of the Environmental and Socio-Economic Impacts of Marine Pollution in...
This report attempts to provide a preliminary review of the some of the possible impacts, monitoring, and mitigation measures for many of the pollution issues including sewage and waste disposal, mining and smelter activities, various large industrial... -
Randolph Glacier Inventory 6.0
The Randolph Glacier Inventory (RGI 6.0) is a global inventory of glacier outlines. It is supplemental to the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative (GLIMS). Production of the RGI was motivated by the Fifth Assessment Report of the... -

This Application for an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the KSL Project has been prepared pursuant to Section 16(1) of the B.C. Environmental Assessment Act. The Application includes a description of the project, an outline of the Public and First... -
Northwest Transmission Line: Bell-Irving Route Study
Sheffield studies and office-based reviews for this Bell-Irving Route Study Report were completed in August 2010. This report presents the results of baseline information collected as well as an evaluation of potential project effects on VECs along the... -
Kitimat - Summit Lake Pipeline Looping Project: Assessment Report
The purpose of this Assessment Report is to: describe the Project; summarize the process for the review of the Application; report on the adequacy of the Proponent’s distribution of information during the Application Review; report on whether the... -
Hydrologic Regimes in a Changing Climate: Characteristics and Response of Wet...
Hydrologic regimes in a changing climate: characteristics and responses of wetland and off-channel habitat along the Telkwa River and the implications for juvenile coho salmon. Given changing climatic conditions in British Columbia, Canada, there is a need... -
Historical Data Review on the Upper Bulkley River
This report gathers relevant data on water level and flow, along with water use (allocation or licenses), and historical stream hydrological information, and to assist in determining if these factors are contributing to the decline of coho in the system. -
Glaciers, Streams, and Salmon (Video)
The glaciers at the head of our watersheds are receding as the climate warms. As this icy reservoir dwindles, downstream impacts in the form of warmer stream temperatures and lower flow volumes may have detrimental impacts on salmon. This presentation... -
Daily Streamflow and Water Temperature Simulation: Case Study of Pacific Coas...
The objective of the project is to present how the GEM, GEM-Surf, WATROUTE and RBM models were set up and coupled over the watersheds flowing into Hecate Strait and discuss preliminary results obtained for the period of October 2013– July 2015. The... -
Cumulative Effects of Planned Industrial Development and Climate Change on Ma...
Here we employ a cumulative effects model to examine and compare the relative contribution of climate change and planned industrial development to cumulative effects in a northern temperate region of British Columbia, Canada. We focus on this region because... -
Change in the Morice River Watershed: Climate, Glaciers, Snowpack, and Impact...
In this video, Dr. Matthew Beedle investigates the primary factors determining stream temperatures in the Morice River watershed today and forecasts conditions to 2100 based on modelled climate change, glacier recession and seasonal snowpack. -

Accelerated Change in the Glaciated Environments of Western Canada Revealed T...
The retreat of mountain glaciers affects mountain hazards and hydrology, and new methods are needed to rapidly map glacier retreat at planetary scales. We automatically map 14,329 glaciers (30,063 km2) in British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, from 1984 to... -
Canada Water Agency
The Government of Canada (GoC) has committed to establishing a Canada Water Agency (CWA) to partner with provinces, territories, Indigenous communities, local authorities, scientists, and others with the goal of better managing freshwater in Canada....
