Climate change induced mass loss of the Greenland Ice Sheet increases the amount of meltwater, which is mainly released into the numerous fjords along the coast of Greenland. Due to its low salinity and high silt load, meltwater can profoundly affect the biogeochemical cycling of carbon. We visited...
