Data Identification

Abstract: A total of 9 inflow rivers/streams were sampled: 7 glacier-fed (Snow Goose River, Blister Creek, Abbé River, Gilman River, Very River, Turnabout River, Henrietta Nesmith River), 1 permafrost seep-fed (Skeleton Creek) as they entered Lake Hazen. The Ruggles River outflow was also sampled at Lake Hazen and at two additional sites downstream towards Chandler Fjord. Total phosphorus, alkalinity, oxygen isotopes, total dissolved nitrogen, nitrate, ammonium, nitrite, dissolved species, CHN, TSS, trace metals, perfluorinated compounds, and mercury were measured.
Purpose: Snowmelt runoff is a small portion of the annual water loadings to Lake Hazen. Lake Hazen watershed glaciers are melting at unprecedented rates which potentially contribute to much higher loads of nutrients and legacy contaminants to Lake Hazen than snowmelt. This study aims to understand glacial inputs of nutrients and contaminants to Lake Hazen, and how those summer inputs alter the water quality of Lake Hazen itself during the open-water season.
