Modern sedimentation in Lake Linné was studied as part of the NSF-funded Svalbard REU Project to calibrate the lamination stratigraphy in the glacier-fed lake. Lake Linné, located on the west coast of Spitsbergen, receives melt water from the Linné glacier, located 8 km up valley. The focus of the i...
