CSASN Channel Nutrients from 2010 to 2012 in I8 Inlet, I8 Outlet, Peat Inlet and Kuparuk Rivers

The Changing Seasonality of Arctic Stream Systems (CSASN) was active from 2010 to 2012. The CSASN goal was to quantify the relative influences of through flow, lateral inputs, and hyporheic regeneration on the seasonal fluxes C, N, and P in an arctic river network, and to determine how these influences might shift under seasonal conditions that are likely to be substantially different in the future. During the project, background samples were collected from four stream channels and analyzed for a variety of nutrients.

北极溪流系统季节动态变化项目（CSASN）的执行周期为2010年至2012年。该项目的核心目标为定量剖析顺流径流通量（through flow）、侧向输入以及潜流带再生作用（hyporheic regeneration）对北极河网中碳、氮、磷季节通量的相对影响，并明确在未来可能出现的显著迥异的季节性条件下，上述影响将如何发生转变。本项目期间，研究人员从4条河道采集背景样本，并针对多种营养物质开展了分析检测。
