Project member Slobodan Simonovic warned that the maps aren't meant to provide detailed forecasts of local conditions, but rather a national view of possible floodplain changes as climate change progresses.
Generally, the maps show the possibility for even more extensive flooding in the Saint Lawrence River Valley.
The maps allow users to explore current and future floodplain conditions and overlay postal codes, a map of drainage basins and a map showing elevation. You can read the full methodology and explore them in detail online.
