RESEARCH
Multiple disciplines. One Arctic system.
SPRING combines hydrology, geophysics, chemistry, microbiology, UAV remote sensing and modelling to investigate how Arctic freshwater systems are changing under climate warming.
Hydrology
Water flow, river discharge, lakes, groundwater points and physical-chemical monitoring.
Geophysics
Electrical resistivity, electromagnetic methods and
subsurface imaging.
UAV remote sensing
Thermal, multispectral and RGB mapping of water outflows and soil humidity.
Chemistry
Isotopes, nutrients, major ions, DOM, legacy and emerging contaminants.
Microbiology
Microbial abundance, activity, diversity and mobilisation across the water system.
Modelling
Conceptual and mathematical models of water dynamics and future scenarios.
