Permafrost And Thaw-induced Hazards on Svalbard

Rock slope failures (RSF) and associated tsunamis pose a severe risk to human lives and infrastructure in the Arctic. Despite these threats, little is known about RSF on Svalbard, and a comprehensive risk assessment is lacking. PATHS aims to address this knowledge gap by combining a workshop, a n...

Norway’s carbon sink under climate change

Historisk sett har Norge hatt et robust karbonopptak, noe som er avgjørende for å kunne møte både de norske og europeiske målene om netto null utslipp. Det terrestriske karbonopptaket i Norge har imidlertid uventet sunket med 40% i løpet av et tiår. Selv om deler av denne nedgangen kan forklares ...

Unstable rock slopes on Svalbard

Large rock slope failures are a threat to human life and infrastructure. Two such failures occurred in 2016 and 2022 on Forkastningsfjellet, Svalbard, and changes in the geomorphology hint towards future failures. Despite these incidents, the role of permafrost on the instabilities remains unknow...

Towards using InSAR Ground Subsidence Observations to constrain Permafrost Thaw Trajectories

Under a warming climate and the thawing of the uppermost permafrost, areas containing substantial amounts of permafrost ground ice subside. The permafrost ground ice content is one of the most important variables determining ground subsidence and landscape development upon permafrost thaw, but we...

Constraining the Greenhouse gas emission potential of High-Arctic Peatlands in a Changing Climate

High Arctic peatlands are important components of the terrestrial carbon cycle. Studies have indicated that Svalbard peatlands are currently significant carbon sinks, but the dynamics of their carbon cycle can change over time due to factors such as permafrost thawing or peatland drying. This mak...
