Summary:
The project includes studies on the rates and processes controlling snow accumulation, snowmelt, water flux through snow, and exchange of water between snow cover, active layer and permafrost. The effect of snow or soil temperature regime and vegetation types on runoff processes, evaporation processes, and development of physically-based, predictive models of snowmelt runoff will also be studied i...

As part of a long-term study, this research will examine the important role that snow plays in northern ecosystems. Snow accounts for a large portion of yearly precipitation: when it melts, snow is a significant source of freshwater for refilling lakes and ponds, and for plant growth. This study will examine the role that snow plays in controlling streamflow and movement of solutes, nutrients an...
