Linking metagenomics and microscopy to investigate the formation of aggregates of glacial materials on Svalbard. RiS ID 12117

Little is known about the formation of cryoconite – aggregates of mineral particles and microbes held together by exopolymeric substances (EPS) - on glaciers. This project will investigate the different microbial communities found in different sedimental structures throughout a polar year on Foxf...

Goose herbivory and strong winter rainfall limit plant uptake of permafrost N, RiS 11069

Plant roots are often associated with mycorrhizal fungi. i.e. mushrooms that colonize plant roots belowground, and play a crucial role in plant uptake of nitrogen (N) which is essential for plant growth. During this fieldwork we will take soil cores at the peak of the growing season to examine th...

Resolving the Impact of Changing Arctic Precipitation on Svalbard Ice Mass Balance

The Arctic is warming at almost four times the mean global rate (Rantanen et al., 2022) and is becoming increasingly wetter: a trend that is predicted to continue as the Arctic Ocean becomes Atlantified, with rapid decline in sea-ice which is now at an all-time minimum (Bailey et al., 2021).

Climate Invasives --- MINIMIZING THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE-INDUCED SPREAD OF INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES TO MARINE PROTECTED AREAS

Akvatiske invasive arter er en av de største truslene mot biologisk mangfold i havene. Et av hovedtiltakene innenfor marine strategier for å bevare biologisk mangfold er å etablere marine verneområder (MPA). MPA er områder med høyt biologisk mangfold, og det er derfor viktig å etablere effektive ...
