1 Assessing the impacts of climate change on groundwater and dependent ecosystems: Experiences from cold regions (Finland) Bjørn Kløve
2 Case Study Aquifers 7 FP project 25 partners About 100 researchers active MAIN TOPICS - Flow characterization - Pollution leaching - Ecosystems - Modelling - Management and social and eoonomic issues Final conference In Prague March
3 Content of presentation Groundwater and dependent ecosystems Cold climate hydrology: critical processes Impacts of climate change on groundwater and dependent ecosystems 1 July 2013 Figures on winter snow cover in Europe 3
4 GDE - GROUNDWATER DEPENDENT ECOSYSTEMS? Surface water systems such as springs, lakes, river and coastal lagoons Terrestrial systems such as peatlands, forests etc. 1 July B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU Klöve et al 2010 Env. Sci. Policy
5 Why are GDEs important? Unique ecosystems with many functions Biodiversity rich e.g. several Natura 2000 sites are GDEs Recreation and other socio-economic functions such as tourisim and recreation Groundwater levels vulnerable to land use changes and water extraction qualitative and quantitative pressures on GDEs European water legilsation require consideration of GDEs (Groundwater directive and WFD) 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 5

12 Cold climate hydrology Snow, ice, frost accumulation and melt are dominant processes in hydrology and influence: Annual peak and low flow Frost depths Floods and to some extent droughts Infiltration and recharge Erosion and pollution related processes Climate change expected to influence cold periods of the year remarkably 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioorsk/UOULU 12
13 Ice jam 2014 near Oulu caused by rapid mel 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 13
14 Load variation during snow melt (Øygarden, 2000) January 30 Runoff: 25 mm January 31 Runoff: 77 mm Soil loss: 2 kg ha - 1 Soil loss: kg ha -1
15 Snow infiltration Soil frost can reduce infiltration (if soil freezes in wet conditions in the autumn) Soil frost reduce K and promote overland flow Reduces recharge Results in focused infiltration 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 15

18 Climate change Climate change may be perceived as alterations in the local or global climate on different time scales. Human activities can also cause climate change locally by changing land use, water use and vegetation, with consequent impacts on hydrology Several natural phenomena related to atmospheric and (or) oceanic circulation can affect the climate locally or globally, causing changes and (or) variability. Many of these phenomena are related to the circulation of the oceans and (or) of the atmosphere. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution has affected the climate of the Earth. A small but constant increase in mean atmospheric temperature has been observed.

24 GDES AND CLIMATE CHANGE GDEs comprise different systems that will respond to climate chnage in many different ways GDEs are often wet ecosystems and rely on groundwater Changes in groundwater can change GDEs Essential to understand changes in: Changes in recharge, GW level and pressure Groundwater surface water interaction Impacts of Land use and Climate Change Little information is available so the issue must be approached from a knowledge on hydrology and surface water systems
25 Examples Esker recharge and summer low flows Glacier melt Stream water temperature Esker lake systems 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 25
26 Glacier melt with CC Higher temperature will first increase glacier melt Reduced glaciers reduce galcier size an evantually the melt amount leading to less summer base flow 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 26
27 STREAMS AND CC Stream interact with its surface water catchment and groundwater capture zone Water temperature changes if baseflow is reduced (Kane et al., July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 27
28 Esker recharge and low flow Okkonen and Klove Jhydrol July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 28
29 Esker aquifers and lakes some lakes sensitive to CV and CC 29
30 Conclusions In cold regions snow and ice accumulation and melt effect the water systems in many ways Climate changes in cold regions will probably results in less snow accumulation, earlier snowmelt and shorter season Irregular GWL (depends more on rainfall) Higher GWL in winter and lower in summer GDEs are highly vulnerable to hydrological changes Little information yet available on GDEs and CC Essential to understand the link between climate, groundwater and how it is linked to ecosystems Impacts must be related to land use and climate variability 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 30
31 Uncertainties on CC in Finland Temperature? No significant trend detected in 100 year data of central and northern Finland (only trend observed in Helsinki) Evapotransipiration? Increased CO 2 can reduce ET and compensate for the increase in T Precipitation? Climate models scnarios highly uncertain In Finland reducing trend observed for P and SWE 1 July 2013 B.Klöve/Bioforsk/UOULU 31
