Acoustic methods in detection and analyzing of calving events at the Hans Glacier front, RiS ID: 6133

My project is based on the hypothesis that characteristics of the acoustic signals recorded in the Arctic fjord provide valuable information about the dynamics of surrounding tidewater glaciers. In the summer of 2013, during a 3-months experiment, two aut onomous, hydroacoustic buoys will be depl...

Epiphytic diatoms from the Arctic coasts: ecology, taxonomy and biogeography, RIS ID 6207

Diatoms are important biotic elements of Arctic marine ecosystem, significantly influencing the dynamics of primary production, nutrient cycling, carbon transport, oxygen flow and its activity, and all trophic processes. It is therefore imperative for the sake of the future of Arctic marine ecos...

Photogrammetric investigations of calving activity and flow rate on Kronebreen, Svalbard (RiS ID 6162)

The proposed research is part of the CRIOS (Calving Rates and Impact on Sea Level) project which aims to apply optimised observational techniques for monitoring glacier motion and dynamics, as input for improved models of calving glacier dynamics. The pre sent study focuses on Kronebreen. Stereos...

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...

Barents Sea Ice sheet - insights into the climatic sensitivity of marine based ice sheets

The main topics to be discussed are - Evidence for former ice streams - Patterns of deglaciation; rapid or gradual? Single or multiple episodes of ice retreat? - Relationship between marine-based and land-based sectors of the ice sheet - Subglacial drain age - Chronology - How to incorporate new...

Remote biosensor technology measuring valve gap and shell growth of bivalves for detecting accidental discharges in the Norwegian Arctic

The main goal of the project will be to transfer and optimize for the Arctic a remote biosensor technology developed in France to permanently record an index of water quality (based on a continuous bivalve-activity recording) and, eventually, rapidly dete ct industrial accidental discharges in th...

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...
