This page highlights tools, reports, and links specific to the province’s needs and context.

Climate Data – Environment, Conservation and Climate Change

The Government of Newfoundland and Labradors’s Climate Data page provides historical climate records and future climate projections for the province. It includes data on temperature, precipitation, and other climate trends, along with tools to support planning, infrastructure design, and climate adaptation.

Community Accounts

This website provides users of all levels of climate adaptation knowledge with a reliable source of community, regional, and provincial data.

Climate-data-climate-projections-temperature.xlsx

A 2018 climate projections study commissioned by the provincial government. It identifies the projected changes to the province’s climate by mid- and late century. This study includes temperature projections for 28 locations in the province, as well as Schefferville (Quebec).

Coastal Change in Newfoundland and Labrador

This website illustrates the connections between the Province’s glacial history, coastal landforms and processes, infrastructure, planning, climate change and sea level change, for technical and non-technical audiences.

Newfoundland and Labrador Geoscience Atlas

GeoAtlas is an interactive online mapping and data portal provided by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. It allows users to view, search, explore, and download geoscience-related geographic information for the province.

Flood Risk Mapping

This flood map will assist in regulating new developments in flood-prone areas, help minimize flood damage to properties and the environment, and restrict activities that could degrade water resources.

Coastal Flooding – Environment, Conservation and Climate Change

(Newfoundland & Labrador Atlas of Storm Surge and Wave Climates)

This resource explains current and future storm surges and wave patterns along the province’s coast. The Atlas provides a set of advanced numerical models developed specifically for this initiative, which cover the entire province’s coastline with spatial resolutions as fine as 1.5 km

NL Coastal Flood Simulation App

This app uses detailed elevation data to map where flooding could happen and how deep it may be. It shows flood levels in small increments and uses a bathtub inundation model to simulate flooding depth and extent.
