Deposition History of Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in a Svalbard Ice Core (RiS ID 11121)

This project aims to produce a long-term record of the historical deposition of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in Svalbard. PFAS are a toxic anthropogenic organic contaminant and have been identified by the Arctic Monitoring Assessment Programme (AMAP) as one of the major chemicals of emerging ...

Influence of distributed snow and firn cover evolution on glacier surface mass change., RIS ID 11152

The glaciers of Svalbard are undergoing profound change due to climate forcing. Precipitation and temperature changes are leading to changes in the timing and duration of the melt period, the type of ice undergoing accumulation (firn versus frozen liquid precipitation or snowmelt) and the overall...

Nunataks as an island model system within the island - Dispersal of Saxifraga oppositifolia. RiS ID: 11166

Saxifraga oppositifolia will be sampled from nunataks, to explore the gene flow between populations and to find out whether nunataks function as islands within the island of Spitsbergen. In addition, dispersal and colonisation of S. oppositifolia can be related to environmental factors, since pop...

Kongsvegen Glacier Surge Dynamics RIS 10933

The aim of this project is to collect data to test a new theory of glacier surges - enthalpy cycling theory. The theory predicts that surges occur where frictional heating creates heat and meltwater (enthalpy) faster than it can be lost. This prediction will be tested for Kongsvegen, a glacier kn...
