Summary:
The proposed research will investigate the implications of climatic change for fish and wildlife resources in the Mackenzie River Basin. A computer model will be used to predict temperature and precipitation changes associated with an expected doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations. Data points used in the modelling exercise will correspond to selected weather stations in the region. The res...
