✦ Synopsis

whilst discharges varied considerably between atreama (range 0.001-16 m3s-1) and over die1 cyclee. Solar radiation and air temperature were major determinants of stream discharge. Variability in discharge was refIected in variability in nutrient chemistry andsediment loed. Nitrogen and phosphorus varied considerably between streams; the meltwaters early in summer contained 10-20 times higher levels of dissolved N and P than later in the season. Within stream nutrient levels were modified by dense algal growths and penguin rookeries. Epilithic algal communities were made up predominantly of cyanophycme which
