The magnetic fabrics of surge type glaciers in Svalbard

This project involves the novel application of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) to examine deformation within glacier ice. Preliminary results have demonstrated that AMS can provide reliable and useful fabric data from glacier basal ice, reveal ing new information about glacial strain....

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...
