About

Ming-Ko Woo

Dr. Ming-ko (Hok) Woo has worked in the Arctic for 50 years and is a Professor Emeritus in the School of Earth, Environment and Society at McMaster University in Canada. His primary research interests are in snow and ice, permafrost hydrology, statistical hydrology, and modeling. Dr. Woo served as the lead on the Mackenzie GEWEX (Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment) Study that investigates the cold climate processes, including the modeling of large-scale atmospheric-hydrologic phenomena in the cold region. Dr. Woo is a fellow of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society and of the Arctic Institute of North America. He was on the editorial board of several journals including Nordic Hydrology, Physical Geography, Canadian Geographer, and Geographie physique et Quaternaire. In addition, Dr. Woo has published nearly 200 articles in refereed journals and over 100 other papers and reports in hydrology, earth sciences, geography, and other fields.
