Low temperatures, wind-chill, snow, sea ice, and permafrost have
been primary characteristics of Canada's northern and alpine
environments during the past two million years. The evolution of
Canada's cultural landscapes, the processes of settlement of rural
areas, and the present interaction of Canadian industrial society
with its biophysical environment are all deeply influenced,
directly or indirectly, by the frigidity of the greater part of the
country. The phenomenon of global warming, if it occurs, will
lessen this coldness, but its impact on temperature extremes, sea
ice regimes, vegetation, snow distribution, permafrost, glaciers,
lakes, rivers, and mountain hazards are all the subject of
intensive research -- the highlights of which are reviewed in
Canada's Cold Environments.
