Mixed effects regression for snow distribution modelling in the central Yukon
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-05)To date, remote sensing estimates of snow water equivalent (SWE) in mountainous areas are very uncertain. To test passive microwave algorithm estimations of SWE, a validation data set must exist for a broad geographic area. ... -
Modeling of Permafrost Distribution in the Semi-arid Chilean Andes
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-02)The distribution of mountain permafrost is generally modeled using a combination of statistical techniques and empirical variables. Such models, based on topographic, climatic and geomorphological predictors of permafrost, ... -
Using stable water isotopes to partition source water contribution and assess spatio-temporal source water dynamics of wetlands ecosystems in the eastern Canadian Rocky Mountains
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-28)Subalpine and montane regions of the Canadian Rocky Mountains are expected to experience continued changes in hydrometeorological processes due to anthropogenically-tied climate warming. These regions are important in ...
