It’s a Snow Day! How Winter Weather Extremes Affect School Bus Cancellations
Winter weather extremes affect all forms of transportation including bus transport for children to and from school. Spatial differences in bus cancellations across school districts and their associated weather are important to quantify, as they can result in unequal educational outcomes if student learning is affected. This study compared winter (December–February, inclusive) cancellation frequency across 17 bus zones distributed across a broad l…
Perceptions of the health impacts of climate change among Canadians
There is emerging literature suggesting that framing communication around climate change in terms of the health risks it poses may increase perceptions of the proximity of the risks. These results suggest that it is important to be specific in the types of health risks that are communicated, and to consider the concerns of the target sociodemographic groups. The differential knowledge, awareness, and concern of climate health impacts across segme…
Coupled human-natural system impacts of a winter weather whiplash event
In October 2011, the Halloween Nor’easter produced unusually early and heavy snowfall while leaves were still on the trees, causing extensive damage throughout the northeastern United States. This storm is an example of winter weather whiplash, in which an abrupt, back-and-forth swing in winter weather affects coupled human and natural systems. Research on the social-ecological drivers and impacts of winter weather whiplash is scarce because most…
Spring coherence in dissolved organic carbon export dominates total coherence in Boreal Shield forested catchments
The wide range of forested landscapes in boreal environments store and cycle substantial amounts of carbon, although the capacity of these systems to act as either a carbon sink or source is uncertain under a changing climate. While there are clear reports of regional-scale increases in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in streams and lakes, there remains substantial watershed-scale variability in these patterns. Coherence is a framew…
Defining frigid winter illuminates its loss across seasonally snow-covered areas of eastern North America
Winter is often understudied in ecosystem sciences and viewed as a burden for human systems and infrastructure. However, the importance of winter in regulating ecological processes and shaping human communities has emerged as a topic of great interest, particularly in areas that experience seasonal snow cover. Traditional seasonal definitions may not fully represent below freezing winters and snow accumulation that have historically characterized…
