The Hydrology of Cold Regions
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.
