• IMAX Low Impact Development Feature Performance Assessment (2022): The goal of this study is to inform stormwater management design, implementation, and maintenance in areas with similar climate influences as southern Ontario. This report is intended to address several project questions on the performance of the stormwater management features at IMAX. This technical report includes the following sections: site description, methods, results and discussion, conclusion and next steps, and appendices. 
• Incorporating Nature-based Solutions into Community Climate Adaptation Planning (2022) - Nature-based solutions can encompass a wide range of options, from reliance on still-intact natural systems and restoration of key ecosystems to the use of engineered systems designed to emulate natural system functions. Developed by the National Wildlife Federation and EcoAdapt, this guidance delves into the opportunities for integrating NbS into community adaptation planning processes with a special focus on the “Steps to Resilience” framework. 
• Canada’s Changing Climate Report in Light of the Latest Global Science Assessment (2022): This report provides some perspectives on the implications of the findings of Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis for the conclusions of the 2019 Canada’s Changing Climate Report. Climate Change 2021 was the Working Group I Contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

• Understanding Flood Risk Perception: A Case Study from Canada (2022): In recent years, understanding and improving the perception of flood risk has become an important aspect of flood risk management and flood risk reduction policies. The aim of this study was to explore perceptions of flood risk in the Petite Nation River watershed, located in southern Quebec, Canada. A survey was conducted with 130 residents living on a floodplain in this river watershed, which had been affected by floods in the spring of 2017. Participants were asked about different aspects related to flood risk, such as the flood hazard experience, the physical changes occurring in the environment, climate change, information accessibility, flood risk governance, adaptation measures, and finally the perception of losses. An analysis of these factors provided perspectives for improving flood risk communication and increasing the public awareness of flood risk. 
• Future Climate of the North Saskatchewan River Basin Above Edmonton (2022) - Combining high-resolution regional climate modeling with a 900-year record of hydroclimatic variability to project the future climate of the North Saskatchewan River Basin above Edmonton, Alberta
• Melding Adaptive Management and Climate Change Adaptation (2022) - Adaptive management (AM) is a rigorous approach to implementing, monitoring and evaluating actions, so as to learn and adjust those actions. Climate change adaptation (CCA) is an approach to plan and implement actions to reduce risks from climate variability and climate change, and to exploit beneficial opportunities. ESSA recently published a paper arguing that AM practitioners need to apply the methods of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) in their projects, and expand the scale at which they define the problem they’re trying to solve (Marmorek et al. 2019). Tables 1 and 2 in Marmorek et al. (2019) compare the principles and the procedures of AM and CCA. This insight piece conveys the essence of our arguments in that paper, updated to reflect recent events, and our evolving insights.
