Sediment cores from
lakes and reservoirs can be used to estimate sediment
yields. In proglacial lakes, the bed sediment
typically accumulates as varves, reflecting changes
in seasonal and annual sedimentation. This report
compares the results from two different methods
of measuring suspended sediment transport in
a Norwegian glacial river and lake. Sediment
yields obtained from a study of sediment cores in
the proglacial lake Nigardsvatn along with measurements
of the delta topset were compared with
a 25-year record of sediment transport based on
automatic water sampling and water discharge
measurements at a monitoring station at the inflowing river. During the period from 1980 to
2005, analyses of sediment cores taken from the
lake bed along with measurements and grain size
distribution analysis of the delta indicated that
a volume of 175,670 to 202,697 m3 was deposited
in the lake Nigardsvatn and corresponding river
delta. The year 1980 was selected as a convenient
starting point because a large-magnitude flood
with a 100-year recurrence interval occurred at
the end of 1979, leaving an easily recognizable
sediment layer and accurate reference point. Sediment
cores were taken at a total of 24 locations
throughout the lake and 25 locations in the delta.
The densities of the sediment cores were found to
vary between 1.3 and 1.5 g/cm3 during the period
examined in this study, giving a total suspended
sediment load of between 175,670 and 202,697
tons. The measurements carried out at the sediment
station in the glacier melt-water river gave
a value of 294,800 tons during the same period.
A final value of 211,100 tons is calculated from
the monitoring station results after deduction of
the sediment fraction which passes through the lake
without being deposited. This gives a discrepancy
between the two methods of 8,403 to 35,430 tons (4–20%). This can be partially attributed to the
difficulties of measuring the water discharge in
the unstable glacier meltwater river. In conclusion,
sediment cores may be used to extrapolate or
correct measurements from sediment monitoring
stations over longer periods but caution should be
made when considering single years.
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań prowadzonych według dwóch różnych metod pomiaru ilości rumowiska unoszonego, dostarczonego w latach 1980–2005 do jeziora Nigardsvatn w Norwegii, które zasilane jest wodami roztopowymi z lodowca Jostedalsbreen. Wielkość dostawy rumowiska, określoną na podstawie analizy rdzeniowej z sondowania geologicznego osadów dennych jeziora, porównano z wynikami uzyskanymi na podstawie danych z 25-cio letniego ciągu pomiarów zmącenia w rzece zasilającej jezioro. Stwierdzono, że różnica w wielkości dostawy rumowiska do jeziora określona dwiema metodami wynosi 4–20%, przy czym mniejsze wartości uzyskano na podstawie analizy rdzeniowej osadów. Autorzy uważają, że metoda ta może być stosowana do oszacowania lub korygowania wyników pomiarów zmącenia w rzekach zasilających jeziora i zbiorniki wodne w dostatecznie długich okresach. - Źródło:
