Variability of sediment transport in the Scott River catchment (Svalbard) during the hydrologically active season of 2009
Investigations of fluvial transport in the glacial river catchment (Scott River, Spitsbergen) were conducted in the melt season of 2009. A special attention was given to dynamics and distribution of bedload transport − the major component of fluvial transport in a proglacial gravel-bed river. Bed-lo...
