Fishery at 78° - Small scale fishery for local value creation on Svalbard

Gruvedriften på Svalbard har gjennomgått omfattende reduksjoner i løpet av de senere år, og for å kompensere for dette har det vært arbeidet med å skape alternative inntektsgrunnlag for øygruppen. Eksempelvis ved etablering av universitetssenteret i tillegg til bedrifter som server den økende tur...

Mechanisms underlying climate-driven shifts in plant phenology and abundance and the link to population performance of a large herbivore

Climate change is rapidly altering patterns of precipitation and temperature (Van Pelt et al. 2016), causing shifts in plant phenology and resource availability for large herbivores (Bjorkman et al. 2020). In the Arctic, weather patterns are increasingly characteristic of earlier springs and dela...

Understanding climate change impacts in an Arctic ecosystem: an integrated approach through the prism of Svalbard reindeer

Arktiske økosystemer er naturlige laboratorier for studier av klimaeffekter fordi de er enkle og under rask oppvarming. Vi ønsker å undersøke det paradoksale med at bestanden vår av rein har mer en doblet seg gjennom de siste to tiår, i et område med rask klimaendring. Vi går bredt ut og undersøk...

Investigation of connections between diet change and environmental pollutants in black-legged kittiwake in Kongsfjorden, RiS ID 11573

In my master's thesis I will look at timeseries of levels of pollutants and timeseries of diet-samples from black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) from Kongsfjorden. I will investigate if the observed shift in diet for the kittiwakes, from Arctic to Atlantic species, has an affect on contamin...

Field based oil depletion processes in temperate and Arctic seawater

Oil spill preparedness is an important part in the treatment of accidental oil spills. Computer models are used to estimate the fate of the oil and help to decide for the most appropriate action. However, these models lack of field data to make their estimations more precise. Especially natural d...
