The report describes the first two years of an investigation of the snow chemistry and hydrology of the Emerald Lake Watershed in Sequoia National Park. The investigation examined the impact of acid deposition on high-elevation ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada. The following aspects of snow deposition and melt were studied: energy inputs; pattern of snow deposition and ablation; snowpack, meltwater and runoff chemistry; stream hydrology during the melt period.
