Spatial and Temporal Variations in Active Layer Thawing and Their Implication on Runoff Generation in Peat-Covered Permafrost Terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the distribution of frost table depths on a peat-covered permafrost slope was examined in a discontinuous region in northern Canada over 4 consecutive years at a variety of spatial scales, to elucidate the role of active layer development on runoff generation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of spatial variability in snow and frozen soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the spatial distribution of frozen soil and snow cover at the start of the spring melt season plays an important role in the generation of spring runoff and in the exchange of energy between the land surface and the atmosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on old and new water contributions to stream flow at some nested catchments in Vermont, USA
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated factors controlling the partitioning of old and new water contributions to stream flow for three events in four catchments (three of which were nested) at Sleepers River Research Watershed in Danville, Vermont.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity analysis of lake mass balance in discontinuous permafrost: the example of disappearing Twelvemile Lake, Yukon Flats, Alaska (USA)
S. M. Jepsen,Clifford I. Voss,Michelle Ann Walvoord,Joshua R. Rose,Burke J. Minsley,B.D. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identified the most important potential mechanisms that could explain the decreasing mass of one lake in Yukon Flats since the early 1980s, Twelvemile Lake, via a scoping analysis that considers plausible changes in snowmelt mass and infiltration, permafrost distribution, and climate warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatio-temporal evolution of a thermokarst in Interior Alaska
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the rapid development of a thermokarst in Interior Alaska over a two-year period, showing that a portion of the study area progressed from a hummocky terrain to a well-defined channel configuration.

An Experimental Investigation of Runoff Production in Permeable Soils
Thomas Dunne,Richard D. Black +1 more
TL;DR: In an area of low-intensity rainfall and permeable soils, three hillside plots were instrumented for a study of runoff-producing mechanisms as discussed by the authors, which showed that, as the infiltration capacity of the soil exceeded the rainfall intensities that occurred and that were applied, overland flow generated by the mechanism described by Horton did not occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of subsurface flow in generating surface runoff: 2. Upstream source areas
TL;DR: In this paper, runoff simulation for rainfall events on hypothetical upstream source areas, carried out with a deterministic mathematical model that couples channel flow and saturated-unsaturated subsurface flow, provides theoretical support for the runoff-generating mechanisms observed in the field by Ragan and Dunne.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moisture movement in soils under temperature gradients with the cold‐side temperature below freezing
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical potential of soil water in the frozen soil as a function of temperature was calculated and it was shown that the presence of an ice phase greatly enhances the amount of moisture transfer under temperature gradients.
