Description:The Colville River estuarine system has been studied with respect to physical, chemical, geomorphological and biological factors in as great detail as possible over a period of four years. Initially logistics were the major emphasis, but as the program developed, a considerable mass of baseline data was accumulated on this previously rather unknown area. North slope river deltas differ significantly from deltas else where, particularly with respect to geological and biological aspects, but also in the extreme importance of ice cover to the annual physical regime. Climatological extremes are a major feature of the environment, and the contrasting effects of the cold, dark winter months with nearly complete ice cover and the continuous daylight summer period with melting ice or open water can be considered a major environmental factor influencing both the physical and biological systems.
