Water chemistry and its diversity in relation to local factors in the Latnjavagge drainage basin, arctic–oceanic Swedish Lapland

Intensity and spatio-temporal variability of fluvial sediment transfers in an Arctic-oceanic periglacial environment in northernmost Swedish Lapland (Latnjavagge catchment)

“…9km 2 , a length of 4600m, and elevation ranging from 950 to 1440m a.s.l. The bedrock of Latnjavagge is mainly composed of Cambro-Silurian mica-garnet schists and inclusions of marble (Kulling, 1964;Beylich et al, 2004a). Intrusions of acidic granites can be found in the northern part of the valley.…”

“…s.l.) in northernmost Swedish Lapland (Beylich, 2003;Beylich et al, 2003;Beylich and Gintz, 2004;Beylich et al, 2004aBeylich et al, ,b, 2005a. Over a period of five years denudative processes were monitored and quantified.…”

Environmental Monitoring and Research in the Abisko Area—An Overview

“…Current chemical weathering rates have been investigated through studies of buried machine-polished rock disks Thorn et al 2006). Present-day studies in the valley Latnjavagge (close to Abisko) by Beylich and others have also shown the importance of chemical weathering and denudation (Beylich et al 2004a(Beylich et al , b, 2005Beylich 2005 (homogenous crystalline rocks) to 5 mm ka -1 (carbonate sedimentary rocks) (André 2002).…”

Mass Transfers and Sedimentary Budgets in Geomorphologic Drainage Basin Studies

“…Calculating the mass transfer caused by creep and solifluction was led by the following assumptions: an affected surface of 2.8 km 2 , an average movement rate of 0.003 m yr -1 in a 0.3 m thick layer, and a medium material density of 2.0 (Beylich, 2008). In contrast to the other denudative processes, chemical denudation affects the total surface of the slope systems (Beylich et al, 2004a;2004b). The transport distance of 500 m is about half the medium distance between water divide and main channel.…”

“…The hydrological regime is nival, with runoff being limited to the period from end of May until October / November (Beylich, 2003). The bedrock is mainly composed of Cambro-Silurian mica-garnet schists and inclusions of marble (Beylich et al, 2004a). Intrusions of acidic granites can be found in the northern part of the valley.…”
