Temporal variations of isotopic composition of glacier-river water during summer: observations at Austre Okstindbreen, Okstindan, Norway

Most δ18O values of samples from the principal river are within the range -12.5 to -14.0‰. Because new snow tends to be relatively depeleted of δ18O, water leaving the glacier early in the summer has low δ18O values. Subsequently, values rise as contributions of old snow, glacier ice, and their melt...
