This study will use the Mann–Kendall (MK) non-parametric trend test to examine timing changes in spring (early May to the end of June) streamflow records observed by the Water Survey of Canada during 1985–2011 in an Arctic headwater basin in the Western Canadian Arctic. The MK test shows a general d...
