POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Arctic marine mammals in a time of climate change: a Kongsfjorden Case Study ("ARK" – ARktiske Klima forandringer Konsekvenser)

Minkende sjøis samt smelting/tilbaketrekning av tidevannsbreer (breer som har front ute i sjøen) er tydelige tegn på endringer i Arktiske områder som følge av global oppvarming. Reduksjonen i begge disse fysiske særtrekkene i Arktiske marine økosystemer skjer raskere i det nordlige Barentshavet e...

POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Norways ice-associated whales in a changing Arctic

Viktige resultater fra ICE-whales prosjektet inkluderer de første bestandsestimatene for alle tre endemiske Arktiske hvalartene i norsk Arktis, noe som er en betydelig prestasjon gitt de analytisk og logistiske utfordringer med disse dyrenes svært lave bestandstall og mobile natur i generelt isfy...

SSF-Svalbard Science Forum

Passive monitoring of endangered species in Svalbard: Distribution & relative abundance of Red Listed whales in a time of climate change

Sea ice in the Arctic has declined in recent decades at an unprecedented rate and continued sea ice declines are expected to produce a seasonally ice-free Arctic well before the end of this century. This would be a first for the Arctic in over 5+ M years. A summer-time ice-free Arctic Ocean will...

MARINFORSK-Marine ressurser og miljø

The population biology and ecology of the world's northernmost harbour seals in a changing Arctic

"The population biology and ecology of the world's northernmost harbour seals in a changing Arctic" har vært et svært produktivt forskningsprogram. Steinkobbe på Svalbard er en unik genetisk bestand som har vært isolert fra andre bestander i rundt 1000 år. Den har vært gjennom en såkalt genetisk ...

HAVKYST-Havet og kysten

Foraging ecology of bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus) and its effects on the benthic community in the Arctic

During the next 3 years, we will perform a series of investigations to explore the dynamics of bearded seal foraging and the effects of these activities on benthic communities of the Arctic. We will: 1) complete data collection from our captive bearded se al experiments in one final set of trials...
