| Résumé | Reliable predictions of future ice season severity and duration, storm surges, winds, wave conditions and water levels are needed for the St. Lawrence marine corridor to enable better-informed climate risk assessments for ports and other federally-owned transportation infrastructure. The Ocean, Coastal & River Engineering Research Centre of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC-OCRE) carried out a project to develop a climate risk information system for this region. The present report focusses on the ice aspect only. Preliminary analyses using modelled air temperatures show a consistent trend of decreasing maximum annual ice thickness at all examined St. Lawrence sites between 1990 and 2100, but with an increase in relative variability for future predictions. The results suggest that the maximum annual shorefast ice thickness at the end of this century could (on average) be half, or less, of the thickness values in the early 2000s. |
