ИСТИНА

Since 2018, the monitoring campaign ArcticFlux has been sampling the 4 largest Siberian rivers (Ob, Enisey, Lena and Kolyma) multiple times per year at the most downstream river crossection selected as unaffected by river mouth processes (tides, surges etc). Using (ADCP) acquisitions with sediment depth profile sampling of the Ob, Enisey, Lena and Kolyma, we aim to build a model to derive the annual flux of the sediments and particulate flux of the trace metals and POC into Arctic seas with largest tributaries. These estimates are important to learn how changes in inputs from the major rivers will have widespread impacts on biogeochemical cycling in the ocean.
