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, ... -
Temporal Deep Learning Approach to Bedfast and Floating Thermokarst Lake Ice Mapping using SAR imagery: Old Crow Flats, Yukon, Canada
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-17)Lake ice is a fundamental part of the freshwater processes in cold regions and a sensitive indicator of climate change. As such, in light of the recent climate warming, monitoring of lake ice in arctic and sub-arctic regions ... -
Thermal and Hydrological Response of Rock Glaciers to Climate Change: A Scenario Based Simulation Study
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-17)Snow and glaciers are considered the most important sources of the estimated 32-60% of global water resources which are provided by mountains. Consequently, snow and glaciers have regularly been the focus of climate change ...
