Description
Within the joint German-Russian research project "Siberian River Run-off (SIRRO)" multidisciplinary studies were carried out in the Ob
and Yenisei estuaries and adjacent southern Kara Sea (Arctic Ocean). The overall goal of the project was to extend knowledge on understanding
the freshwater and sediment input by the major Siberian rivers and its impact on the environments of the inner Kara Sea. The main results
of oceanographical, biological, geochemical, geological and modelling studies are presented in four main chapters:
(A) Modern Discharge:
Data and modelling; (B) Discharge and biological processes, (C) Discharge and organic carbon cycle, and (D) Discharge and sediment records.
