The Province of Manitoba's Hydrologic Forecast Centre announced on December 16, 2014, that flow rates and levels for most major rivers and lakes are above normal. The Centre continues to gather information that will contribute to flood forecasts for the Spring of 2015. In the Riddell Faculty at the University of Manitoba, water quality and quantity is the focus of a number of researchers including Dr. Genevieve Ali of the Department of Geological Sciences. Her research described here reveals the challenges flood forecasters face.

In the field we stayed in a hunter’s cabin with a great view at the frozen ocean! The experimental site was located on the ice about six kilometres away from the cabin; so, we drove there by a snow mobile.
