Weathering caused by interaction between glacial sediments and water in exposed moraines needs to be studied to evaluate their possible effects on the global carbon cycle. In this study, moraine ponds, moraine porewaters, and till samples were collected at a moraine adjacent to the Greenland Ice She...
