| Title | Chemical and physical characterisation of water in an alpine permafrost area (Col d'Olen LTER site, Italian NW-Alps) |
| Abstract | The present study aims to evaluate rock glacier solute fluxes into a high altitude lake in the Italian NW-Alps (Col
d'Olen LTER site, Aosta Valley) in order to understand the impact of climate parameters on alpine permafrost, in
particular the effects of permafrost ice melt on the water quality of mountain headwaters. This objective has been
achieved through an integrated-multidisciplinary research programme involving climate analysis, rock glacier
ground surface temperature investigation, water physiochemical and microbiological analyses |
