The importance of tidewater glaciers for marine mammals and seabirds in Svalbard, Norway
Approximately 60% of Svalbard's land areas are glaciated at the present time. The
Archipelago has more than 1100 glaciers (> 1 km 2) and 163 of these are “tidewater …

Tidewater glaciers and bedrock characteristics control the phytoplankton growth environment in a fjord in the Arctic
Meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers impacts the adjacent marine environment. Due
to the global warming, tidewater glaciers are retreating and will eventually terminate on land …
