In order to investigate the effect of glacial water on the CO 2 system in the fjord, we studied the variability of the total alkalinity (A T ), total dissolved inorganic carbon (C T ), dissolved inorganic nutrients, oxygen isotopic ratio (δ 18 O), and freshwater fractions from the glacier front to t...
