Targeted sampling of zooplankton in Kongsfjorden, RiS ID 12141

The ecosystem in Kongsfjorden is affected by both Atlantic and Arctic water and the species distribution of zooplankton can change each year. Since zooplankton has an essential role at the base of the Arctic food web, their distribution and abundance can serve as an indicator of higher trophic sp...

Effect of heavy rainfall events on soil faunal communities and soil characteristics across Svalbard ecosystems - T-REX project -RiS ID 11968

Climate change will alter precipitation regimes. In a warming climate, precipitation across the Arctic will increase and become more variable. A larger proportion of precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow and extreme summer rainfall events are expected to occur more frequently. There is...

Sediment methane variability in Arctic lakes

This project is part of my doctoral thesis. Northern lakes represent a globally significant source of atmospheric methane, powerful greenhouse gas that is predicted to increase with the accelerated warming in the Arctic. Yet, the effect of rapid warming on the fate of natural methane emissions in...

The effects of warming climate on parasite-reindeer dynamics in the Arctic. RiS ID: 11856

Parasite and hence parasite-host interactions might change under changing abiotic conditions. A highly understudied but important factor in understanding host-parasite dynamics under a changing climate is how behaviour of parasites and hence contact with hosts could change under a changing climat...

Resolving the Impact of Changing Arctic Precipitation on Svalbard Ice Mass Balance

The Arctic is warming at almost four times the mean global rate (Rantanen et al., 2022) and is becoming increasingly wetter: a trend that is predicted to continue as the Arctic Ocean becomes Atlantified, with rapid decline in sea-ice which is now at an all-time minimum (Bailey et al., 2021).

Climate Invasives --- MINIMIZING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE-INDUCED SPREAD OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES TO MARINE PROTECTED AREAS

Akvatiske invasive arter er en av de største truslene mot biologisk mangfold i havene. Et av hovedtiltakene innenfor marine strategier for å bevare biologisk mangfold er å etablere marine verneområder (MPA). MPA er områder med høyt biologisk mangfold, og det er derfor viktig å etablere effektive ...

Membrane-assisted Dissolved Oxygen Removal from Amine solution for CO2 capture

Aminbasert post combustion carbon capture (PCCC) er foreløpig den eneste teknologien som er operativ i full skala industrielt, men reduksjon i OPEX og økt driftsstabilitet er nødvendig for å akselerere videre implementering. Oksidativ degradering er ansvarlig for omtrent 70 % av det totale aminta...

Dynamics of Arctic Leads

It is well documented that the Arctic Ocean is in a transition from perennially ice-covered ocean to a seasonally ice-covered one (Meredith et al., 2019).
