Dr. Terry Donald Prowse, 71, of Victoria, British Columbia, passed away January 31, 2024. He was born on September 29, 1952, to parents Garnet and Doris Prowse in Orillia, Ontario.

He married Jennifer Prowse in 1977 in Sarnia, Ontario, and they had three daughters: Catherine, Suzy, and Lisa.
He worked as a Research Scientist for Environment Canada, with expertise in cold regions hydrology, with a focus on river ice, lake ice and snow, as well as impacts of climate change on water resources. He was a Senior Scientist/Project Chief in the Water and Science Technology Directorate of Environment Canada, and Professor and Research Chair of Water and Climate Impacts Research Centre (W-CIRC) at the University of Victoria. Over his career, he held multiple collaborative roles such as the President of the Canadian Geophysical Union; Associate Editor of the Journal of Hydrological Processes; Lead Author, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); and Executive Member, World Climate Research Program (WCRP) – Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) program.

He had a distinguished career, where he was recognized with multiple awards, including the Nobel Peace Prize co-award winner as multi-year IPCC lead author (2007) and a Doctor of Environmental Studies, Honoris Causa, from the University of Waterloo.
Terry had a gregarious nature that made everyone feel included and welcomed in his orbit. He enjoyed food (especially BBQing for others), travelling, a fine scotch, and most of all, joking around and spending time with his beloved family. His generosity and kindness were prevalent in all aspects of his life, from hosting at the Prowse house to promoting family connection through exploring his Celtic roots.
He is survived by his wife, Jennifer; his oldest daughter Catherine and her husband Cameron; his middle daughter Suzy and her husband Graham and their sons Willem and Bowen; his youngest daughter Lisa and her husband Max; and his older brother Bill. He was predeceased by his parents.
