Sedimentation in a Pro-glacial Lake: Lake Linné, Svalbard
This past summer I traveled to Svalbard, with Al Werner, to collect modern sediment traps from a
pro-glacial lake, Lake Linné. To facilitate my research I need to travel to Woods Hole, MA to run grain
size analysis on a Coulter Counter. I need the grain sizes so that I may draw conclusions, in conjunction
with other data such as temperature sets, about the sedimentation processes in the lake. I anticipate needing
to run samples for two to three days, and considering the drive I will need accommodations for the nights
that I will be on the coast. Below is a brief budget:
Hotel: Approx. $200
Gas: $50
Food: $75
Thank you for your consideration.
