SOME PHYSICO-CHEMICAL FEATURES OF WATER IN SUPRAPERMAFROST ZONE IN THE HORNSUND REGION (SW SPITSBERGEN)
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2013, Vol 456, Issue 456
Abstract
The hydrogeochemical background of electrolytical conductivity (36–188 µS/cm) and pH (from 6.23 to 7.35) of groundwater occurred in active layer of permafrost in the Hornsund region (SW Spitsbergen) was determined based on data collected in summer season of 2005. The shallow zone of water circulation (supramermafrost zone) in Arctic regions results during intensive melting of snow, glaciers and top layer of permafrost in short Arctic summer periods. Water was sampled from ephemeral springs occurred at the foot of the mountain range slopes in the margin zone of coastal lowlands of the Greenland Sea. Anomalous zones, outside the ranges of maximum EC and pH, mainly coincide with the occurrence of birds colonies.
