Full Description

This exam evaluates the interrelation between hydrology and its effects on permafrost engineering practices, particularly with regard to water flow and ice formation.

Understanding hydrological processes is crucial for managing water-related risks such as flooding or excessive ice buildup that may impact structural safety and integrity.

Participants will be assessed on their ability to articulate the hydrological impacts on permafrost conditions and the strategies to mitigate such risks effectively.

Students should prepare to support their discussions with relevant examples reflecting hydrological principles and engineering responses to permafrost challenges.

Sample Questions
