WP4 - Conceptual model and distributed system for the management, use and dissemination of data
Specific activities
Study of processes and parameters driving fresh water and sediment supply. Comparisons on a regional scale with other glacial systems (ice streams, outlet glaciers).
Definition of the distributed network architecture, deployment nodes.
Institution: CNR (CNR-ISAC, CNR-ISMAR, CNR-DTA) - INGV - OGS
Expected results
- Summary obtained through the results of WPs 1-3 and development of conceptual models for the study of various phenomena and processes.
- Integration of complementary expertizes by participant institutions, establishment of an interdisciplinary multi-institution team .
- Collaboration with international partners involved in the CORIBAR experiment.
- Implementation of a distributed structure based on the brokering approach concept, with nodes managed by different participants and a central infrastructure at the
CNR.

WP3 - Reconstruction of extreme meltwater events
Specific activities
Dispersal mechanisms, age and recurrence of meltwater processes, quantification of sediment supplied based on lithological and geophysical data in Storfjorden and Kveithola; studies of magnetic and paleomagnetic properties of sediment cores, speleothem-based paleoclimate reconstructions.
Expected results
- CORIBAR drilling campaign in Storfjorden and data analysis.
- High-resolution reference paleoclimate record based on speleothems.
