Analysis of stable oxygen isotope ( δ 18 O) characteristics is a useful tool to investigate water provenance in glacier river systems. In order to attain knowledge on the diversity of δ 18 O variations in Greenlandic rivers, we examined two contrasting glacierised catchments disconnected from the Gr...
