-CCRN is a CliC endorsed project.

The Changing Cold Regions Network (CCRN) released its first newsletter in December 2014.

CCRN is a new collaborative research network bringing together the unique expertise of a team of over 50 university and government scientists, including 36 Canadian scientists representing 4 government agencies and 8 universities, as well as 15 international scientists.  The network is funded for 5 years through the Climate Change and Atmospheric Research (CCAR) Initiative of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC).

CCRN’s objectives are to integrate existing and new sources of data with improved predictive and observational tools to understand, diagnose and predict interactions amongst the cryospheric, ecological, hydrological, and climatic components of the changing Earth system at multiple scales, with a geographic focus on Western Canada’s rapidly changing cold interior.

In December, CCRN submitted their 2^nd Annual Science and Progress report to NSERC. The first year of CCRN was very much taken up with recruitment, turning a project proposal into a detailed work plan etc. Their 2^nd Annual General meeting, at Wilfrid Laurier University in October 2014, showed that an impressive amount of work is now underway.

A few highlights from CCRN….
