Abstract:

This dataset contains Hydrochemical and isotopic results from ten water samples from surface streams in Kuup Ilua (Blæsedalen Valley), a drinking water stream and a precipitation event, on Qeqertarsuaq (Disko Island), West Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland). These samples were taken in September 2022 as part of the MOMENT project (Permafrost Research Towards Integrated Observation and Modelling of the Methane Budget of Ecosystems).
