Lake coring Svalbard 2017

The Holocene Thermal Maximum (11-5 ka BP) may serve as an analogue for near-future Arctic climate: Like the present, this period was characterized by a combination of high radiative forcing (caused by maximum summer insolation instead of greenhouse gases) and freshwater input from melting Arctic ...

Developing research and education collaboration across the largest climatic gradient in the Arctic between Svalbard and Northern Greenland

It is unique and important to be able to study the entire breath of the largest climatic gradient in the Arctic from cold Northern Greenland to warm Svalbard. So far, this has not been possible due mainly to logistical challenges and the remoteness of the northern Greenlandic area. With the newly...

Iron Speciation on Svalbard Ice Cores and Snow, RiS ID: 10632

Iron is an element which has great relevance on oceanic biogeochemistry. In its more soluble form, Fe(II), it acts as a biolimiting nutrient regulating the phytoplanktonic bloom, especially in High-Nutrient Low-Chrolophyll Area, which may affect the cycling of carbon, silica and sulphur as demons...

The influence of environmental conditions on algal stoichiometry (RiS 10656)

The stoichiometry of algae is very plastic and is strongly influenced by environmental conditions. The ratios of C:N:P (carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus) determine the algal food quality and affect the transfer of energy within the food web and the structure of the food web itself. Light conditions and...
