Small-scale dynamics of Arctic coastal sediments: Isbjornhamna, Svalbard. RIS-ID 10918

This project consists of 2-months-long multidisciplinary survey of Isbjornhamna (Hornsund) coastal zone for investigation of local sediment erosion / transport / deposition processes characteristics, and also for detailed imaging of the internal structure of the bay's sediments. Main project goals are to: -Create detailed image of morphology and internal sediment structure of Isbjornhamna's coastal zone, -investigate storm-induced changes in coastal zone's morphology and structure in absence of shore ice, -assess the local sources and sinks in sediment transport.
