Influence of Glacial Meltwater on Summer Biogeochemical Cycles in Scoresby Sund, East Greenland

Greenland fjords receive considerable amounts of glacial meltwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet due to present climate warming. This impacts the hydrography, via freshening of the fjord waters, and biological processes due to altered nutrient input and the addition of silts. We present the...
