Climate Services

Knowing the negative impacts of extreme climatic events not only helps us prepare for future events, it also allows us to take advantage of the positive impacts.

SRC’s Climatology team develops, tests and transfers climatic information, which can lead to environmental, economic and social benefits for Saskatchewan and the world.

Climate Hazards

Investigating how climate affects our society, economy and environment, we study the effects of hazards, including droughts, excessive moisture, extreme heat and extreme cold. We look at their resulting influences on agriculture, forestry, health, water and communities.

Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation

We provide climatic impact assessments and adaptation strategies for the resource and environmental sectors. This process involves assessing climatic factors that affect socioeconomic and ecological systems.

Monitoring Climate Variability

Monitoring climate variability is accomplished by using SRC’s two Climate Reference Stations (CRS), located in Saskatoon and south of Prince Albert, SK. These stations provide Saskatchewan with comprehensive climate variability data.

Take a virtual tour of our Climate Reference Station in Saskatoon, which has gathered environmental data for over 50 years.
