Comparative statistical hydroclimatology of glacial and nival rivers in southwest Yukon and northwest British Columbia ...
A diverse suite of nonparametric statistical and time series analysis techniques was applied to historical streamflow data from five glacier-fed and four snowmelt-fed rivers in the southwest Canadian subarctic, in order to determine whether, and if so, how the two fluvial regimes respond differently...
