A Primer for Understanding Concepts, Principles and Language Use Across Disciplines (Opens in a new Window)
This primer helps engineers and climate specialists collaborate more effectively in carrying out climate change vulnerability and risk assessments. It does this by explaining important differences in how practitioners from these two respective disciplines understand particular concepts, principles, and vocabulary.

Weather Conditions and Reports (Opens in a new Window)
The Weather Conditions and Reports database contains historical climate data at various scales from across Manitoba. About 109 stations monitor air temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed/wind direction and soil temperature. In addition to regular weather and soil reports, users can access more specialized tools, including disease and crop condition reports. Data are available in tabular, mapped, and report formats.

Wildfire Program (Opens in a new Window)
The Manitoba Fire Mapping Program provides an interactive map, as well as fire location maps formatted for viewing in Google Earth and as ESRI shapefiles. These operational map products are a compilation of data from various sources including the crews who suppress the fires, satellites, and hand rendered maps. The fire shapes and sizes may differ from the actual fire occurrence due to changing weather conditions and a variety of natural, electronic, and human factors beyond the control of Manitoba Conservation.
