Objective(s): To determine the rates of and processes controlling, water flux through snow covers, exchange of water between snowcover, active layer and permafrost and movement of solutes through the snowcover; to determine the effect of snow/soil temperature regime and vegetation types on runoff processes; to develop physically-based, predictive models of snow melt runoff.
Project Description: The research project will include measuring the amount of snow on the ground, changes in snow properties during spring melt, weather conditions and runoff in nearby rivers. The purpose of the project is to improve ability to predict smowmelt runoff to rivers and lakes in Northern Canada.
