Conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) cast for a lake on Kvadehuken, Ny-Ålesund 2022

In August and September 2022, a sediment sampling and site investigation program was conducted near Ny-Ålesund on Svalbard. With the Bayelva Observatory monitoring permafrost temperatures for over 25 years, the AWIPEV research station serves as an ideal hub for studying the effects of climate change on permafrost degradation. As part of a site reconnaissance program, we visited a lake on Kvadehuken, approximately 10 km northwest of Ny-Ålesund, situated below the Late Weichselian Marine Limit. A standard conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) casting device was deployed to measure the lake's physical properties.
