Analysis of Varved Sediment and Weather Relationships in Lake Linnè, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)The recent debate involving climate change has become increasingly important in the past decade. Arctic environments are important locations for study as they are particularly sensitive to climate variations. Proglacial ... -
Calibrating annual sedimentation in a glacial lake Lake Linné, Svalbard, Norway
(2012-07-03)This study will focus on the most recent depositional year, fall 2010 through summer 2011. The study is a continuation of previous projects and investigates modern sedimentation in Lake Linné in order to formulate a ... -
Characterization and Calibration of Lamination Stratigraphy of Cores Recovered from Lake Linné, Svalbard Norway
(2009-07-14)Emily's project focused on dating (Cs and Pb)and documenting and interpreting the lamination stratigraphy of cores recovered from Lake Linne' -
Characterization of Climatic Influences on Modern Sedimentation in an Arctic Lake, Svalbard, Norway
(2009-07-14)Nick, was the first student to study the sediment traps recovered from Lake Linne' and to relate the measured textural changes from trap to trap and to measured weather parameters in the valley -
A Characterization of the Biology and Nutrient Cycling of Two Glacial Lakes in Isfjord Radio, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)Due to the fact that lakes in the high arctic are only exposed for two to three months out of the year, very little is known about the microbiology and nutrient cycling that occur in this region. Of greatest interest in ... -
Characterizing fjord oceanography near tidewater glaciers Kronebreen and Kongsvegen, in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)In recent years, warmer Atlantic-origin waters have intruded into Svalbard's west- coast fjords. To predict the e ects of the TAW (transformed Atlantic water) intrusion on the ice margin of tidewater glaciers, a detailed ... -
Chronology and Correlations of High Arctic Lakes Based on Magnetic Properties
(2009-07-14)Emily recovered short cores from different locations in Lake Linne'and from Kongress in order to measure the paleo-magnetic record preserved in the sediment records. -
Comparison of lamination stratigraphies of cores recovered from the proximal basin of Lake Linne, Svalbard, Norway
(2009-07-14)Bennett's research was directed at correlating the lamination stratigraphy of adjacent cores recovered from a proximal basin in Lake Linne'. His work showed that small changes in position and bathymetry can cause changes ... -
Controls on sediment flux in the Linne' River
(2009-07-14)Nora studied the processes associated with sediment flux down the Linne' meltwater system during the summer of 2005. She related suspended sediment load to weather parameters, glacier ablation and river stage/discharge -
Cryoconite Evolution and Formation on an Arctic Glacier Surface: A Case Study and Model
(2012-07-03)Cryoconite holes are vertical cylindrical holes that form on glacier surfaces due to the lower albedo of sediments. Cryoconite holes exist on Linn ebreen, Svalbard over the entirety of the glacier. They preferentially ... -
Determination of Stratiform Cloud Formation and its effects upon Glacial Ablation at Linne'breen, Svalbard for the Summer of 2005
(2009-07-14)Carlos'researched the formation of clouds over the Linne' Glacier and their roll in the overall rates of glacier ablation. -
Evaluation of Modern Sedimentation Processes in a Proglacial Lake: Linnévatnet, Spitzbergen, Svalbard
(2009-07-14)Patty studied the texture and lamination stratigraphy preserved in the sediment traps recovered from Lake Linne'. These traps were deployed from summer 2006 to summer 2007 and a few large diameter traps deployed from April ... -
Evidence for Accelerated Surface Melting Rates on the Linne' Glacier, Svalbard
(2009-07-14)Emily studied the factors that influence glacier ablation (and surface lowering)during the 2006 melt season -
Evidence for Accelerated Surface Melting Rates on the Linné Glacier, Svalbard
(2009-07-14)Heather's research focused on the factors and processes associated with glacier ablation (and surface lowering) during the 2006 ablation season -
Fjord Sedimentation Associated with a Submarine jet and Plume Discharging into Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, Norway
(2009-07-14)Luke, studied the modern processes associated with meltwater discharge along the front of a calving tidewater glacier (Kongsbreen) near NyAlesund, Svalbard, Norway -
Geochemical Investigation of Weathering in a High Arctic Watershed and Provenance of Sediments in Kongressvatnet, Svalbard, Norway
(2009-07-14)Maya, researched the sediment source provenance in the Lake Kongress watershed. She then analyzed downcore sediment chemistry to determine the sources of sediment entering the lake, the origin of annually deposited sediment ... -
Glacial Ablation Dynamics and Sediment Flux at Linnèbreen, Spitsbergen
(2009-07-14)Eric's project focused on the glacier ablation dynamics and sediment release from the Linne' Glacier during the 2006 ablation season. -
The Glaciofluvial Environment of Linnébreen, Spitsbergen, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)Suspended sediment concentrations (SSC), meltwater discharge and local climatic conditions of the Linné glaciofluvial system were monitored from July 21 to August 9, 2010 in order to determine the temporal relationships ... -
Glaciomarine Oceanographic and Suspended Sediment Dynamics, Kongsbreen system, Svalbard
(2012-07-03)Quantifying estuarine circulation and the resulting sediment dynamics of tidewater glaciers is crucial to developing an understanding of these dynamic systems, and their response to climate and sea level change. This study ...
