DOI: 10.1002/joc.7031
Abstract: The Arctic has experienced prominent climate warming, at the beginning of the 20th century and currently. Comparing the driving mechanism during these periods helps to explain the causes of contemporary climate change. Our study explores… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10236-024-01624-9
Abstract: We have investigated the dynamics of the Polar Front (PF) in the southwestern area of Svalbard, where the dynamics are defined by the interaction between the Sørkapp Current (transporting cold and fresh Arctic-type water) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gl079734
Abstract: We present a first version of the Svalbard ice-free topography (SVIFT1.0) using a mass conserving approach for mapping glacier ice thickness. SVIFT1.0 is informed by more than 1 million point measurements, totalling more than 8,700… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01490419.2019.1674429
Abstract: Abstract Changes in the position of the shore in the vicinity of Kapp Napier in central Svalbard was described. The overall advance of the shore was probably related to high input of the sediment material… read more here.

DOI: 10.33265/polar.v44.11413
Abstract: Continuous sedimentary drill cores provide crucial data for deciphering past climate variations and characterizing the subsurface for the energy industry (e.g., coal, petroleum, CO2 storage, geothermal energy). The Norwegian High-Arctic archipelago of Svalbard offers a diverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects11030183
Abstract: Non-biting midges of the fly family Chironomidae are extremely abundant and diverse in Arctic regions and are essential components of Arctic ecosystems. Modern identification tools based on documented records of Arctic chironomid species are therefore… read more here.

Oceanographic monitoring in Hornsund fjord, Svalbard
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Earth System Science Data"
DOI: 10.5194/essd-16-4511-2024
Abstract: Abstract. Several climate-driven processes take place in the Arctic fjords. These include ice–ocean interactions, biodiversity and ocean circulation pattern changes, and coastal erosion phenomena. Conducting long-term oceanographic monitoring in the Arctic fjords is, therefore, essential… read more here.
