Ocean Mixing in the Arctic: Case study at the North Pole Environmental Observatory

Ocean mixing plays a pivotal role in climate variability and change. Despite its importance, mixing is the most uncertain component of modern ocean general circulation models. Field measurements covering both the small (turbulent) scales and conventionall y measurable larger scales aid to underst...

Svalbard ice cores and climate variability

In this project we are going to use three already available ice cores from Svalbard to investigate the present and the past 800 years of climate. Two of these cores, from Lomonosovfonna and Austfonna, are fully analysed and the data sets are available. In this proposal we ask for funding to fini...

The Effects on Population Dynamical Key-Processes of a Changing Climate in Arctic Ecosystems

The present project aims at understanding and predicting how variations and changes in climate can affect key-processes that operate both on population dynamical and ecosystem level. More specifically, we will use long-term monitoring data on population d ynamics and population specific demograph...

Seasonal Predictability over the Arctic Region - exploring the role of boundary conditions

Thus far, seasonal prediction efforts have not made an optimal use of the information that is inherent in the inital states and memories of the cryosphere and the ocean. The impact of stratospheric events also needs to be considered in this context. The o bjective of the proposed project is to ex...
