Measurements from Austre Brøggerbreen (Svalbard, 2009) and the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS, near Kangerlussuaq, 2010) are used to examine microbially mediated supraglacial carbon fluxes and feedbacks between these fluxes and the abiotic conditions at the ice surface. Linear relationships between mass...
