Hydro-Geochemical Dynamics of the Drainage System of a Land-Based Surging Glacier

Nutrients and organic matter supplied by glacial outflows are substantial terrestrial influences on downstream fjord ecosystems. Acquisition of nutrients by glacial runoff is largely dependent on the volume and flowpath of discharge through the glacial system and moraines. However, rapid, climate...

Vast amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas (GHG), are stored in subsurface sediments in the Arctic. The estimated size of these reservoirs varies greatly between studies, but it is widely agreed that a release of even a small fraction could contribute significantly to global GHG concentrati...
