Intensive course on hydrology offered by the University of Saskatchewan

The University of Saskatchewan is offering a 10-day intensive course in hydrology in the fall of 2022. The goals of the course are to describe and explain:

  • "The physical principles and processes that govern hydrology, with special reference to Canadian and cold regions conditions."
  • "Mass and energy balance calculations and their application in hydrology."

The educational objectives of this course are to:

  • "Describe the principal hydrological processes active in Canadian and cold regions contexts."
  • "Assess the effects of variable boundary conditions on hydrology."
  • "Apply coupled energy and mass balance equations to calculate hydrological fluxes including runoff and streamflow."
