This report describes a reconnaissance of the hydrochemical and sediment characteristics of Chamberlin Glacier near Barter Island, Alaska. Twenty-eight observations of the streamflow and one of the precipitation were made to define the important aspects of hydrochemistry and sedimentation during the 2-month period of record July to August 1958. The sampling program had to be planned without prior knowledge of the conditions in the vicinity of the glacier. The adequacy of this program is evaluated in the last section of the report and suggestions are offered that may be useful in designing future studies of this kind. These limited observations are sufficient to define the important dissolved constituents in the glacial melt waters and nearby streams. The dissolved solids range from 7 ppM (parts per million) in a composite sample of precipitation, to 55 ppM in a nearby nonglacial stream. The inverse relation of water hardness to quantity of stream flow is defined with sufficient accuracy to empirically subdivide total flow into components of water from ground environment and water from glacial melt water and precipitation. The streambed contains fragments of well-foliated schist from the Neruokpuk formation, that range in size from boulders to sand--a sample contained 1 percent sand,more » 49 percent gravel, and 50 percent cobbles. Diurnal and day-to-day variation in suspended-sediment concentration, load, and particle size are appreciable. Excellent correlations are demonstrated between (a) the concentration of sand and water discharge and (b) the concentration of clay, or clay plus silt, and turbidity.« less
