Table 2 Comparison of “Dissolved” calcium versus different calcium fractions measured for samples where measurements for more than one fraction were supplied in the source data. Full size table Some records had extremely high calcium concentrations, including some well over 1000 mg L−1; the...
Our evaluation of location suitability included several parameters, such as population density, proximity to existing healthcare facilities, and vulnerability to disasters such as floods and wildfires. We also considered the population distribution of vulnerable seniors across the province and the capacity ...
M.V.K. Sivakumar of the U.N.'s World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said the crunch could come in just over a decade as all continents see more weather-related disasters like heat waves, floods, landslides and wildfires. "Should we worry about land being degraded? Yes," Sivakumar, who...
"Catastrophic water-related experiences such as increasing frequency and severity of floods, drought, wildfires, and toxic algae blooms are creeping threats that undermine our quality of life, health, and safety," said Bob Sandford, co-author of the report and EPCOR Chair in Water and Climate Se...
Superimposed on these have been wildfires and a major mountain pine beetle infestation leading to higher erosion rates in the affected areas. Conclusions The sediment source fingerprinting technique, in combination with historical information on the hydrometeorology and the land use and river management ...
Canada is warming two-fold faster than the global average [3], which is expected to amplify adverse health impacts via multidimensional exposure pathways, including changing weather patterns leading to extreme temperatures, drought, floods, and wildfires [3,4,5]. Likewise, there is a well-...
