The recent record of climate on the range of the George River Caribou Herd, Northern Québec and Labrador, Canada
Records from permanent meteorological stations in and around the range of the George River Caribou Herd have been analyzed for the 1950-1991 period in order to identify climatic factors potentially influencing the numbers, condition, and distribution of caribou. Winter conditions identified include...
