Investigation of Crevasse Evolution, Calving Occurrence, and Links to Damage (ICECOLD), RiS ID 6155

Iceberg calving is an important component of glacier mass loss and indirectly contributes to sea level rise. A new iceberg calving law was recently proposed based on damage mechanics, a promising new theory that could greatly improve the ability of ice s heet models to predict the response of gl...

Tephrochronology of the North Atlantic region during Early Holocene, RiS:5842(under project: Holocene environmental change of Svalbard

Tephra studies from Svalbard is so far sparse but tephra has been identified in both ice cores and in lake sediments reflecting the area's potential. I would like to add an additional site to my PhD project. My PhD project focuses to create an early Holo cene (11.700 to 8000 cal yr BP) tephrochr...

Population genetics of Silene acaulis in the High Arctic , RiS ID 6166

Although temperature seems to be the overriding driving factor of population genetics in the Arctic, local factors like edaphic conditions and competition, are also influencing. In addition, the stochasticity related to environmental variables is expected to affect several demographic traits of ...

Spatiotemporal changes in vegetation following range expansion in Svalbard reindeer

In 1978, Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarundus platyrhynchus) were re-introduced by humans to the Ny-Ålesund area following ca 100 yrs of absence due to excessive hunting. The population irrupted and gradually expanded its range to include other areas such as Sarsøyra and Kaffiøyra. This natural ...

Adult sex ratio variation of Svalbard reindeer in relation to animal density and climate, RIS ID: 6169.

In this study I will estimate adult sex ratio in Svalbard reindeer and examine to what degree the variation can be explained by environmental conditions, i.e. weather and food availability. To obtain this, I will analyze spatiotemporal variation in sex ra tios from long-term monitoring data of mu...

Meroplankton seasonality in trophic interactions, RIS 5264 (umbrella project)

Many benthic organisms have planktonic life-stages (meroplankton). Meroplankton exhibit strong seasonality and can be quite numerous during peak occurrence. Relatively little is known about their dynamics and food requirements, even though they might have considerable impact both as grazers and ...

Passive monitoring of endangered species in Svalbard: Distribution & relative abundance of Red Listed whales in a time of climate change

Sea ice in the Arctic has declined in recent decades at an unprecedented rate and continued sea ice declines are expected to produce a seasonally ice-free Arctic well before the end of this century. This would be a first for the Arctic in over 5+ M years. A summer-time ice-free Arctic Ocean will...
