MEltwater release of heavy meTALs from gLacIer to ocean in a Changing Arctic

Glaciers are moving rivers of ice, which trap water as snow in winter and release it in summer as meltwater to fjords and oceans. The recent warming of the Arctic, four times the global average, is causing them to shrink and to release more meltwater into fjords. Once thought to be sterile and in...
