Extreme Environmental Events Induced by Climate Change:
... In the Canadian Prairies, climate change is predicted to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme environmental events (EEEs), like flood and drought, this century (IPCC, 2007A; Schindler, 2006; Warren, 2006; Francis et al., 1998). An increase in EEEs, although not always associated with a hi ...
