But du programme :

This proposal is to continue the work between the PI and GEO-SLOPE International Ltd, to perform a criticalx000D
assessment of the performance of the Geoslope models SEEP/W and TEMP/W for simulating the hydrologicalx000D
processes in seasonally frozen conditions. In the original Engage project we found that the modelx000D
systematically over predicts snowmelt runoff, and under predicts snowmelt infiltration into frozen soils. In thisx000D
second phase the tasks to be undertaken include: Improve the model configuration for the St Denis field site, inx000D
particular with respect to soil moisture and vegetation, and document the findings at this site (Month 1); Applyx000D
the model to at least one, and up to three, additional field sites. Sites to be considered include Brightwaterx000D
Creek in the Canadian prairies, BERMs in the southern Boreal Forest, and Syncrude's reclamation sites in theirx000D
Mildred Lake operation, Alberta. (Months 2-4); Document the findings in a model report for GSI's internal use.x000D
This should include recommendations for model development (Month 5); Write up the findings in a journalx000D
publication (Month 5).
