Abstract

The ICEtoFLUX project focuses on hydrologic dynamics and related effects in the Bayelva catchment (Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard), from itsglaciers and proglacial system down to the Kongsfjorden sector affected by the river. Experimental activities on hydrology, geo- andenvironmental chemistry, microbiology and geophysics, and numerical modelling, will concern water cycle components to quantify Arctichydrologic processes and related biotic-abiotic transports.
