The Small Earth Nepal (SEN), in collaboration with the Central Department of Hydrology and Meteorology (CDHM), Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), and Center for Hydrology, University of Saskatchewan is organizing the webinar on ”Mountain Snow Hydrology” by Professor John Pomeroy from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada on 3 September 2020.
This presentation from Professor John Pomeroy will review advances in understanding the snow processes that control the hydrology of high mountain areas: snow accumulation, redistribution by wind and gravity, an interception by forest canopies, sublimation, snowmelt, and runoff generation. It will discuss how these processes operate in various high mountain environments, how they can be measured, and show through computer simulations how they work together at the headwater catchment scale to generate downstream water resources. Snow processes are particularly sensitive to climate warming and so their role in controlling the vulnerability of water resources to climate change will be highlighted.
Date: 3 September 2020
