Group: Summary

   Investigators performed a stable isotope analysis of rain, snow, the Kolyma 
   River, and a local stream near Cherskii, Siberia from 30 June 2002 through 27 
   April 2004. As part of the Russian-American Initiative on Shelf-land 
   Environments (RAISE) program, this research was designed to quantify the 
   impacts of disturbance on the seasonal cycle of atmospheric carbon dioxide and 
   the discharge of carbon and nitrogen into the Arctic Ocean in forest and 
   shrubby tundra regions. Monitoring the stable isotopic composition of water 
   runoff from Arctic rivers provides a means to investigate integrated 
   basin-scale changes. Investigators measured river water and precipitation 
   δ18O and δD  to partition the river flow into snow and 
   rain components in the Kolyma River basin (Welp et al. 2005). 

   Data are tab-delimited ASCII text files and are available via FTP. A 
   supplementary graph of the data is also provided in JPEG format.
