Runoff Generation in a High Boreal Wetland
The stable isotope composition of water and major-ion concentrations were measured in a small catchment tributary to Manners Creek, situated in the zone of discontinuous permafrost near Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories. Hydrograph separation calculations based on 6180 and 6 2 ~ values of snow, ac...
