Climate change will alter the frequency and depth of freeze–thaw cycles in Canada, with major consequences for hydrology and ecosystems, but the magnitude of the expected changes remains poorly understood. Ouranos is a scientific consortium whose mission is to help Québec society adapt to climate change. This project will enable Ouranos to refine its understanding of climate–land surface interactions and to better inform decision-makers and society about the impacts of freeze–thaw cycles, particularly in northern regions.
