The environmental conditions of west and east Svalbard are very different in terms of weather, sea ice, climate and most likely also in terms of glacial/deglacial history.
The glacial history of the fjords on western Svalbard has been relatively well studied, but the glacial history of the fjords/bays on the east coast of Spitsbergen is considerably less well-known.This project aims to investigate the glacial/deglacial history of the poorly known areas in east Svalbard.
