WatKAN: Creating a Water Knowledge Application Network to Address Challenges Related to Permafrost Thaw
William Quinton, Wilfrid Laurier University
The Water Knowledge Application Network (WatKAN) was created to improve the understanding of and ability to predict the impacts of permafrost thaw on the shared water resources in the North. This network builds capacity and predictive tools that predict the rate and pattern of permafrost thaw and resulting changes in landcover and water supply in order to enable sound management decisions informed by the best available evidence on water resources in the Boreal region.
