Hydrology of a small drainage basin with polar oasis environment, Fosheim Peninsula, Ellesmere Island, Canada. M.-K. Woo and K.L. Young. Permafrost Periglacial Processes, July--September 1997, 8(3), 257--277.

A comprehensive examination is reported of the hydrology of a small basin which encompasses large tracts that may be considered as polar oases. Where possible, the results are compared and contrasted with the findings and data from other studies in the High Arctic in order to distinguish the hydrological conditions of the polar oasis from the polar desert. The results elucidate the relationships among precipitation input, evaporation loss, runoff and basin storage in a water balance context, thus improving our understanding of the water balance dynamics in an oasis environment. 40 refs.
