Chemical weathering of rocks results in the drawdown of CO2 from the atmosphere, which, in turn, regulates the global carbon cycle and Earth's climate. Studies suggest that glacial physical weathering enhances chemical weathering of rocks in glacial and proglacial systems, resulting in CO2 sequestration from the atmosphere, thereby acting as a negative climate feedback. Glacial chemical weathering is broadly understood in relation to the carbon cycle; however, nuanced carbon cycle-chemical weathering feedbacks exist in glaciated environments on modern timescales. In this dissertation, three studies were undertaken to understand the processes that control modern chemical weathering processes and related atmospheric CO2 drawdown potential in proglacial rivers from Southcentral Alaska (Matanuska River) and the Western Himalayas (Chandra, Bhaga, and Beas Rivers). Li isotopes (δ7Lidiss), major cation, and anion concentrations of proglacial waters from aforementioned locations were investigated to better understand these feedbacks.A spatial sampling approach was utilized in the first study to understand shifts in chemical weathering signatures with distance and carbon feedback implications in the Matanuska River system. A shift was observed from sulfuric acid (H2SO4) weathering signature (CO2 source) close to the terminus (<10 km) to a carbonic acid dominated (H2CO3) weathering signature (CO2sink) further downstream. The outcomes from this study captured the shifts in chemical weathering reactions and associated carbon feedbacks occurring along the length of the proglacial Matanuska River system.The second and third studies investigated the Li isotopic systematics in proglacial river systems from Southcentral Alaska (Matanuska River) and the Western Himalayas (Chandra, Bhaga, and Beas Rivers). Large variability in dissolved Li isotopic (δ 7Lidiss) compositions and Li/Na molar ratios were observed within close proximity to the glacier termini (<10 km) in the proglacial Matanuska River system (second study) and Western Himalayan proglacial river systems (third study). Similar geochemical trends were observed in these two studies, indicating Li uptake by secondary mineral phases (chlorite and illite) is likely controlling the observed variability in δ 7Lidiss in vastly different geographic settings. The results from the second and third studies suggest that the Li isotopic fractionation is more active in close proximity to the glaciated settings (<10 km), emphasizing the role of glacial physical and chemical weathering on δ 7Lidiss in immediate proglacial settings. The outcomes from these studies show that spatial and δ 7Lidiss investigations of proglacial settings are useful because these spatial studies capture shifts in geochemical weathering reactions and identifies the proximity to which the glacial weathering processes influence the meltwater chemistry and δ 7Lidissin proglacial settings.
