Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: This on-going study attempts to find out how permafrost affects the groundwater, streamflow and levels of water in wetlands. Measurements such as soil moisture, rainfall, ground and air temperatures, and water level will be taken. This research will help to determine how climatic change affects permafrost and water bodies in the Arctic....

Licensed Year(s): 1989 1988
Summary: to investigate and measure various processes (e.g. snowmelt, meltwater infiltration, refreezing of meltwater and heat conductioninto the active layer, evaporation, frost-table and water-table dynamics, and surface and groundwater flows) and their interrelationships to develop a model linking these processes....

Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: 1) To conduct hydrologic and thermal process studies on a small drainage basin. Measurements will be taken of snow melt rates, ice and snow-depths and rates of run-off. 2) To conduct permafrost and hydrologic studies related to management of uranium tailings (this will be a modelling study)....

Licensed Year(s): 1982
Summary: To conduct an examination of snow distribution in drainage basins; to correlate findings with traditional readings and conceptions of snowfall....

Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko

Summary: (1) Snow distribution studies in drainage - Eureka, Ellesmere Island, Mould Bay, Prince Patrick Island, Resolute, Cornwallis Island. (2) Monitor snow melt processes - Resolute area. (3) Continuation of hydrologic processes study related to lake ice break-up - Resolute area. (4) Examine subsurface and overland water flow on an Arctic slope - Resolute area....

Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1980
Summary: To study the melt processes of an Arctic snowpack and an Arctic lake ice cover and to compare the stream flow of a glacerized and adjacent non-glacerized basin....

Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1978
Summary: 1. To study snow distribution and ablation processes in a small basin; 2. To relate the regime of stream flow and lake storage changes to basin meltwater contributions and evaporation....

Principal Investigator: Woo, Ming-ko
Licensed Year(s): 1977
Summary: To study snow ablation processes in a small Arctic basin in the vicinity of Resolute Bay, N.W.T. To relate the regime of stream flow to basin meltwater contributions and evaporation losses....
