Biological rhythms, sleep and cognitive performance of high arctic residents during summer and winter RIS-ID 10223

The present proposal aims at investigating how prolonged isolation and confinement affects the decision-making processes in humans. Available results on human cognitive performance in isolated and confined environments (ICE) reveal a very mixed picture (e.g., Kanas and Manzey, 2008; Van Baarsen e...

Spatiotemporal patterns in vegetation and reindeer dynamics: the importance of long-term and large scale climate fluctuations

My thesis aims to understand how large-scale climatic patterns control long-term fluctuations of vegetation and reindeer. The terrestrial climate, which shapes the fluctuations in both plant and animal populations, is linked to sea-ice cover as well as regional climate proxies. Understanding the ...
