Lack of weather radar a challenge for emergency response as northern Manitoba faces extreme events
Extreme weather events in northern Manitoba are challenging to navigate, and the lack of weather radar sites in the northern part of the province only adds to that challenge, experts say.

Another excellent article on the hydrological effects of clearcut logging. Be sure to take the time to watch the video featuring UBC forest hydrologist Younis Alila. Alila and his colleagues have transformed the way we analyze logging impacts on floods, drought, mass wasting, and sediment delivery to streams from logging operations.

✅ Flohn! "What is #ClimateChange? Climate Change implies an increase of #ExtremeEvents, both in terms of magnitude and frequency!" "Was ist Klimawandel? Klimawandel bedeutet eine Zunahme von Extremereignissen, sowohl in Bezug auf das Ausmaß als auch auf die Häufigkeit" Prof. Dr. Hermann Flohn, 1978

Artificial intelligence for modeling and understanding extreme weather and climate events - Nature Communications

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the study of extreme climate events like floods, droughts, and wildfires, helping to overcome challenges such as limited data and real-time integration. This review article highlights the need for transparent, reliable AI models to improve disaster response, risk communication and stakeholder trust.
