    “Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
    Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

    “Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

  8. 👋 🇨🇦 🐻💵 Black Bear Rescue Manitoba is offering a 💲 $10,000 reward in relation to the shooting of a mother black bear that resulted in three cubs being orphaned.

    In Manitoba, it is illegal to kill a black bear with cubs, shoot one through the window of a vehicle or hunt bears out of season. Black bear hunting season begins April 28.

  11. I was curious if the closure of The Bay meant we would lose archives about the company history.

    Turns out there is an Hudson’s Bay Company Archives, which is a partnership between the Government of Manitoba and the Hudson’s Bay Company History Foundation (HBCHF). The foundation is funded separately from the actual The Bay company and apparently not about to close.

    They published a memo to confirm that the archives are safe:

  12. A #valedictorian's speech for #medicine #grads at #University of #Manitoba that addressed the war in #Gaza is spurring reactions beyond the #convocation hall, as some students and faculty disagree on whether the message was fit for the moment.

    Dr. Gem Newman delivered the 10-minute speech during a convocation ceremony for the #MaxRadyCollege of Medicine at the university's Bannatyne campus.

  15. People are very tied to their language and don’t like change, especially when it #challenges a #PowerStructure . In #Winnipeg , Bishop Grandin, a symbol of #colonial power, is being #replaced by #languages of the #historically #oppressed : #Cree , #Ojibwe & #Métis . While this is precisely the point behind the change, it may make those uncertain about changing power structures uncomfortable.

  16. 'This is the #dichotomy we have between what people write about the things #Indigenous people have done on the landscape vs sensible reasons for why it was done,” said Benoit, whose heritage is #RedRiver #Michif (#Métis ). “Through #OralTradition, we knew that there were good #ecological and #food -related reasons to do these things.”

    Benoit’s point is that the #Prairies were “#settled ” and #farmed long before #European #settlers arrived.'
