POLRES-Polarforskning POLRES

Spatial distribution of snow cover and drainage systems on the glaciers on Wedel Jarlsberg Land; RiS ID: 6158

The proposed project is focused on processes of development of the snow cover melting simultaneously on various glaciers on Wedel Jarlsberg Land and consequences to internal feeding and meltwater runoff and development of drainage systems. Fieldwork (sepa rated in spring and late autumn campaigns...

POLRES-Polarforskning POLRES

Identification of bivalve larvae from a time series study in Adventfjorden, Svalbard, using molecular tools.

Bivalvia have planktonic life-stages (meroplanktonic larvae). Several of them exhibit strong seasonality and can be quite numerous during peak occurrence. Bivalvia larvae are especially difficult to identify, since they exhibit very few or very small morp hological differences before they settle ...

POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Fate of COPePod secondarY production in a chancing Arctic

A warmer climate with less extensive ice cover will lead to higher total primary production in the Arctic, which has the potential to increase the overall secondary production. Altered climate conditions will also affect timing of primary production, with consequences for the grazers of marine e...

The interaction of periglacial and karst features as seen at a small lake system at Linnédalen, west central Spitsbergen

The purpose of this project is field work for a master's thesis dedicated to investigating the dynamics occurring due to the interaction and related development of permafrost, periglacial and karst features. This unique pairing is encountered at Linnédale n, west-central Spitsbergen. Here, a set ...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Remote Sensing of Ocean Circulation and Environmental Mass Changes

Prosjektet Remote Sensing of Ocean Circulation and Environmental Mass Changes (REOCIRC) har gjennom 5 år (2013-2018) hentet inn viktige informasjon fra havet på styrken og variasjonen av strømmen av varmt Atlanterhavsvann til Arktisk. Dette er gjort ved å måle havstrømmer, temperatur og saltinnho...

Svalbard Snow and Avalanche Science Workshop

The first basic avalanche research in Svalbard was initiated by the Norklima CYROSLOPE Svalbard research project (2006-2009), with the aim of studying the influence of particularly avalanches on traffic and infrastructure around Longyearbyen in a changing climate. This first basic avalanche rese...

POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Climate effects on planktonic food quality and trophic transfer in Arctic Marginal Ice Zones II

Et varmere klima med mindre sjøis vil kunne føre til høyere primærproduksjon, som igjen kan øke sekundærproduksjonen i Arktis. Men ikke nødvendigvis! Endrede klimaforhold vil påvirke tidspunktet for våroppblomstringen, samt mengden og kvaliteten av både isalger og planteplankton noe som kan ha ne...

Workshop to develop joint future permafrost hydrology research in Svalbard

It is increasingly recognized that permafrost hydrology is an important component in the Arctic system and needs to be better understood in light of climate chanage. At the same time we now know based on IPY research that the warmest continuous permafrost in the high arctic exist in Svalbard. Co...

Snowpack stability variation on small wind effected slopes

This project deals with wind and rugged terrain being influencing factors of snowpack stability on a small slope. If a slope is unstable, it is likely to fail as an slab avalanche, which poses a threat to skiers and mountaineers. The best way to investiga te snowpack stability and its variation o...

FRIMEDBIO-Fri prosj.st. med.,helse,biol

Circadian rhythms of Arctic zooplankton from polar twilight to polar night; patterns, processes, and ecosystem implications (CircA)

CircA er et prosjekt som jobber med døgnmigrasjoner av arktisk dyreplankton (frittlevende dyr i vannmassene). Slike døgnmigrasjoner er kjent fra alle verdens hav og innsjøer, og er en prosess styrt av lys; små organismer svømmer opp i de øvre vannlag for å kunne spise i ly av mørket og uten fare ...
