Objective(s): 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.
