In 1944, the Government of Saskatchewan created the Northern Administrative District (NAD), which established Northern Saskatchewan as a spatial entity within the provincial milieu. Attention was focused on modernizing ...

The intra-basin variability of snowmelt and meltwater runoff hydrology in an 8 km2 subarctic alpine tundra catchment was examined for the 2003 melt period. The catchment, Granger Creek, is within the Wolf Creek Research ...

The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North American contains millions of wetlands in shallow depressions that provide important hydrological and ecological functions. To assess and model these functions it is important to ...

The study proposes an application of Talen’s (2003) methodological framework for assessing neighbourhood-level (i.e., non-motorised mode) accessibility, and offers recommendations for improving non-motorized transportation ...

The hydrological model WATFLOOD and a volume-area scaling relationship are applied to estimate glacier wastage and seasonal Melt contribution to the headwaters of the North and South Saskatchewan Rivers on the eastern ...

Soil moisture and ground thaw state are both indicative of a hillslope’s ability to transfer water. In cold regions in particular, it is widely known that the wetness of surface soils and depth of ground thaw are important ...
