DESCRIPTION:Chemical weathering at the surface of the Earth removes atmosp
 heric carbon dioxide and is widely considered to be the dominant negative 
 climatic feedback mechanism buffering Earth’s climate over most of geolo
 gical history. One major unknown in climate models is the effect of glacie
 rs and ice sheets on terrestrial weathering rates\, but by comparing chemi
 cal weathering processes in modern glaciated and un-glaciated terrain we c
 an begin to understand how chemical weathering processes were affected by 
 glacial-interglacial cycles in the past. In this talk I will present work 
 from two catchments located in Svalbard\, Norway which showcases the power
  of multiple metal isotope tracers to constrain weathering processes.\n
