Abstract

The article presents the study which quantifies the annual discharge from the snow and glacierized Zackenberg River drainage basin in northeast Greenland. It aims to simulate the time evolution of catchment runoff using the combined hydrologic modelling systems, MIKE SHE and SnowModel. The combined model only include first-order effects of climate change. For the period 2071-2100, the future climate scenarios indicated a mean annual Zackenberg runoff about 1.5 orders of magnitude greater than from 1997-2005. It is mainly base on changes in negative glacier net mass balance.
