In collaboration with UCalgary and USask CIROH-Canada partners Drs Martyn Clark and Alain Pietrioniro, our contributions are towards RT1 - expansion and improvement of water resources prediction. Projects include the model agnostic framework (MAF) and multimodel mosaics, as well as enhanced large scale parameterization of models.

Under the National Adaptation Strategy, the Government of Canada is investing $164.2M in its Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) to help Canadians better plan and prepare for future floods, over the next five years. While, NRCan and various environmental consultants across Canada are handling the mapping aspects, a significant investment was also made in academic reseach to improve the tools available to practitioners to (re)develop flood map and hazard calculations under climate change. UCalgary is leading this research with a consortium of Canadian universities.

Under the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Vision 2030 umbrella, Dr. Stadnyk is involved in leading or co-leading three Coordinated Research Projects with the International Atomic Energy Agency, Hydrology section.  Her work with integrating stable water isotopes into hydrologic models as tracers of the water balance is being used to look at global precipitation and climate change (SDG 13), global water balance and snow (SDG 6,7) and in climate change extremes and impacts on urban environments (SDG 11).
