Combined sedimentology and permafrost studies of two high-Arctic valleys: Adventdalen and Sassendalen, Svalbard, Ris ID 10103

Awarded: NOK 54,999

This project aims to develop an environmental reconstruction of permafrost and sedimentary conditions in both Adventdalen and Sassendalen. This will be determined using cryostratigraphic and sedimentary evidence from cores obtained from various locations in the valley bottoms. Results of these investigations will be contextualized with existing knowledge regarding local climate, sea level, and glacial histories.
