The Arctic contains several of Earth's largest rivers, which together transport huge quantities of water and waterborne constituents into the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas. The Arctic is also changing dramatically due to climate change and other disturbances. Changes in Arctic river discharge and chemistry provide insights into changes occurring on land and also impact the chemistry, biology, and circulation of the receiving coastal and ocean waters.
