Susitna basin hydrology

Project Details

---

• Project ID:

  1027

• Nickname/Abbreviation:

  Susitna basin glaciers

• Parent Project:

  Glacier change

• Status:

  Complete

• Description:

  Current estimates and future simulations of glacier runoff in the upper Susitna Basin. This is a three year project, part of the Susitna-Watana hydroelectric project pre-licensing studies. The focus of the study is on modeling the effects of future climate variability and change, permafrost thaw, and glacier wastage and retreat on runoff.
