Marthabreen is a 7ยด8 km long valley glacier in SW Spitsbergen. The glacier is partially covered by a layer of angular debris derived from rockfall in its accumulation area, pierced in places by pinnacles and ridges of glaciofluvial sediment. These concentrations of glaciofluvial sediment fall into t

There are still relatively few hydrochemical studies of glacial runo and meltwater routing from the high latitudes, where non-temperate glacier ice is frequently encountered. Representative samples of glacier meltwater were obtained from Scott Turnerbreen, a `cold-based' glacier at 788 N in the Norw
## Abstract On 28โ30 July 2000, an extreme melt event was observed at John Evans Glacier (JEG), Ellesmere Island (79ยฐ 40โฒN, 74ยฐ 00โฒW). Hourly melt rates during this event fell in the upper 4% of the distribution of melt rates observed at the site during the period 1996โ2000. Synoptic conditions dur
Solute and runo time-series at Finsterwalderbreen, Svalbard, provide evidence for considerable basal routing of water and the existence of at least two contrasting subglacial chemical weathering environments. The hydrochemistry of a subglacial upwelling provides evidence for a snowmelt-fed subglacia
