Catchment transport and Cryo-hydrology Network (CatchNet)

Began in 2019

Summary

CatchNet (Catchment transport and Cryo-hydrology Network) aims at advancing our understanding of hydrological and biogeochemical transport processes for a range of cold-climate conditions in the context of long-term, deep geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel. The aim with CatchNet is to involve several nuclear waste organisations and academic research groups in an effort to bridge both the industrial and academic worlds. The main focus of this activity is hydrology in the periglacial landscape even though the coupling to other hydrological features, such as the ice and the sub-glacial water system are important in order to conceptualize the periglacial hydrological system. There is also a close coupling with biogeochemistry related to transport of elements in the periglacial system, where hydrology is one of the main drivers.
