N2 - This chapter focuses on hydrology together with sediment and solute transport in the Zackenberg area in relation to climate variability during 1995-2005. The results indicate decreasing precipitation and increasing evapotranspiration during the study years. Theoretically, this should result in decreasing run-off, but no such trend is found in the run-off from the period. Model calculations justify that the loss of water available for run-off is compensated by an increased contribution of meltwater from glaciers within the catchment. It is found that extreme events can dominate the output of sediment and solutes for the catchment.
