Sediment transport in High Arctic watersheds have historically been dominated by melt-induced processes (Woo and McCann, 1994). However, in Svalbard, the last decade has experienced increased discharge variability and late season precipitation events (Nowak and Hodson, 2013). This study provides a d...
