Type: Internationa project

Data curator: WDC-MARE
SIRRO data sets, archived in the data library PANGAEA®
Project summary
- to characterize the supply of the rivers Ob and Yenisey with respect to their dissolved and suspension load, to identify processes modifying the river supply in the estuaries and the inner shelf sea, and finally to analyse the dispersal and deposition of the river supply in the Kara Sea;
- to study the response of the planktic and benthic biota on variations in the river supply along the salinity gradient from the estuaries to the inner shelf;
- to study the geochemistry of dissolved and particulate organic matter and hydrocarbon gases in the water column and the sediments;
- to study the dispersal and distribution pattern of contaminants;
- to reconstruct temporal and spatial changes in the late Weichselian and Holocene paleoenvironment along transects from the estuaries of the rivers Ob and Yenisey towards the open Kara Sea; and
- to calculate (Holocene) total sediment and organic carbon budgets for the Ob and Yenisey estuaries and the inner Kara Sea.
