The following examples illustrate the use of long-term climate data for siting, design, and operational planning in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Impacts of climate extremes such as prolonged ice accretion, abnormally cool, wet summers or snow deficient winters, heavy rainfall, etc.

Slope-stability or mass-movement problems occur where either sediment and/or rock and/or snow move downslope in response to gravity.

Much of our knowledge of daily life in outport Newfoundland in the late 18th and early 19th century comes from the pens of visitors. They were typically missionaries, explorers, naturalists, and geologists whose work brought them to outlying communities not often visited by outsiders or even the local government.

Considerable uncertainty surrounds our understanding of daily life in Newfoundland during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
