According to an analysis by scientists from NOAA\u2019s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), last year was one of the warmest on record, with 2022 ranked among the sixth-warmest year on record since 1880 [1]. Throughout the Northern Hemisphere, surface temperatures were among the sixth-highest recorded since 1878, when such records began. Rising temperatures and seasonal changes bring risks and challenges to the mining, industrial, oil and gas, power generation and other industries.<\/p>\n

Freshets start to occur when the temperatures heat up and the spring thaw sets in, leading to snow and ice melts. This results in excess groundwater which can impact day-to-day operations and prevent ongoing production. When combined with heavy rainfall or extreme snow dumps, the impact of freshets can be more extreme, potentially impacting onsite infrastructure, roads, Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF) and waste areas. As a result, infrastructure may fail which can lead to significant environmental and safety impacts.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
