GG 482
The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the hydrology of cold regions. Topics include snow processes including interception, accumulation, redistribution, metamorphosis and melt; subsurface processes including ground freezing, thawing, and infiltration; runoff processes including hillslope runoff, streamflow, freezing and break-up of water bodies. Discussions will focus on key journal articles on each subject area rather than a course text book. Although this course emphasizes physical processes, it includes aspects of hydrological modelling, and geochemistry where appropriate. Prerequisite: GG381 or GG388.
