Acknowledgments

The long-term commitment of Danny Marks of the USDA Agricultural Research Service for Reynolds Mountain, and the late Rick Janowicz of Yukon Environment for Wolf Creek, and the contribution of many technicians and students to data collection and experiments in the three research basins is appreciated. The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada funded this research through Discovery Grants and the Changing Cold Regions Network. KR was supported by an Alexander Graham Bell Canada Graduate Scholarship-Doctoral Program and a NSERC Postdoctoral fellowship. The study was further supported by the Canada Research Chairs and Global Water Futures programmes. The support of Xing Fang and Tom Brown on CRHM hydrological modelling and particularly for the Marmot Creek model is greatly appreciated.
