Hydrochemistry and subglacial drainage pattern of the polythermal glacier Werenskioldbreen (SW Svalbard)

Project aims to develop the complex model of the chemical weathering in the glaciated basin which integrates the water geochemistry, subglacial drainage as well as hydrometeorological conditions. The proposed project will be conducted in the Werenskiold in the SW Svalbard and will consist of th...

SSF-Svalbard Science Forum

Determination of reflected properties from snow surfaces in Svalbard RiS ID 6160

Albedo changes of the snow occur long before snow melts away completely. This can lead to a change in the radiation budget and therefore affects the radiative forcing in the vicinity of the station. Another effect that will be investigated is the influenc e of varying cloud cover to the amount of...

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 ...

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...

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...

Svalbard Young Researchers Network

Svalbard is the site for numerous international and interdisciplinary research projects every year that involve both senior and early career researchers (ECRs). Especially for ECRs that may conduct their first field season in this area, knowing the logist ics and infrastructure available to carry...
