  3. 2. Spatial and Temporal Variations in a Perennial Firn Aquifer on Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Monika Hawrylak; Emma Nilsson; [2019]
    Keywords : perennial firn aquifer; ground penetrating radar; Svalbard; Lomonosovfonna; flerårig firnakvifer; georadar; Svalbard; Lomonosovfonna;
