The transport of meltwater from land to the coastal ocean

Caption

Scientists study the impact of glacial meltwater on light availability for kelp in Young Sound, NE Greenland. The transport of meltwater from land to the coastal ocean is one of the mechanisms by which climate effects on land are exported to the fjords and contributes to the accumulated impact of climate change on coastal ecosystems.
