Lori Daniels, a UBC forestry professor, explained how trees and other organic material on the forest floor cause water to bead on the surface.
Brett Gilley, a professor with UBC’s department of earth, ocean and atmospheric sciences, said “in general, the severity of flooding is dependent mainly on the snowpack and a combination of warm temperatures and precipitation.
