Summary: The objectives of the hydrological program are to collect and store creek-discharge data in conjunction with creek-stage elevations in order to increase the accuracy of the stage-discharge relationship and prepare a time history of flow. The objectives of the meteorological program are to install instrumentation to collect site-specific meteorological data and to begin a site monitoring program. ...

Summary: The purpose of the MacTung 2006 Environmental Baseline Studies is to collect additional information regarding meteorology, hydrology, aquatic resources, vegetation, terrain and wildlife in the MacTung Project area. This baseline environmental information is required to complete the environmental assessment and regulatory applications for approval of the proposed MacTung Mine project. Overland t...

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...
