N2 - The Lena River forms one of the largest deltas in the Arctic; studying this delta has raised many questions regarding processes that occur there that remain open today. Comparing long-term hydrometric observational data of Russian Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) from the Khabarova polar station, located at the head of the delta not far from where the Lena River divides into its main branches, with field observations, which have been carried out since 2002 revealed new insights into the hydrological, hydrochemical, and geochemical processes within the delta. Three periods with various water volumes and intensity of fluvial processes were chosen from the long-term record of water and sediment discharge. The role of ice event (ice blockage and ice floating) during high water in reconfiguring branch channels and influencing the volume of sediment runoff was identified. Results were obtained quantifying the increase of water and sediment discharges in the middle part
