Spatial and temporal variability in the snowpack of a High Arctic ice cap: implications for mass-change measurements [PDF]
, 2008 Interpretation of ice mass elevation changes observed by satellite altimetry demands quantification of the proportion of elevation change which is attributable to variations in firn densification.

Long-lived halocarbon trends and budgets from atmospheric chemistry modelling constrained with measurements in polar firn [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 The budgets of seven halogenated gases (CFC-11, CFC-12, CFC-113, CFC-114, CFC-115, CCl<sub>4</sub> and SF<sub>6</sub>) are studied by comparing measurements in polar firn air from two Arctic and three Antarctic sites, and ...

The interplay of global and polar regimes
, 1999 The growing salience of interactions between the functionally broad but geographically narrow regimes for the polar regions and the geographically broad but functionally specific regimes emerging to deal with global environmental changes directs ...

Polar bears killed in Svalbard 1987–1992
, 1993 A total of 26 polar bears have been killed in Svalbard since January 1987. Fifteen of these cases were self defense, four precautionary measures, six acts of mercy and one unknown.

Polar bivalves are characterized by high antioxidant defences
, 2005 Inevitably, aerobic life leads to the formation of deleterious reactive oxygen species (ROS) which participate in biomolecule oxidation, hence augmenting biomolecule turnover.

20th century trends and budget implications of chloroform and related tri-and dihalomethanes inferred from firn air [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2006 Four trihalomethane (THM; CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl and CHBr3) and two dihalomethane (DHM; CH2BrCl and CH2Br2) trace gases have been measured in air extracted from polar firn collected at the North Greenland Icecore Project (NGRIP) site.

Kinetic grain growth in firn induced by meltwater infiltration on the Greenland Ice Sheet [PDF]
The CryosphereThe microstructure of polar firn governs its porosity, permeability, and compaction rate, and is thus critical to understanding surface elevation change, heat and gas exchange, and meltwater infiltration on ice sheets.

Modeling heat, mass, and species transport in polar firn [PDF]
Annals of Glaciology, 1996 A finite-element model for simulating multi-dimensional air flow with heat, mass and chemical species transport through firn is discussed. The model is applied to an investigation of near-surface layering effects on ventilation rates. Field measurements of permeability at Summit, Greenland, are presented that show that permeability varies by at least a

Ichnodiversity and bathymetric range of microbioerosion traces in polar barnacles of Svalbard
, 2020 This first comprehensive investigation of microbioerosion traces in polar barnacles addresses two bathymetrical transects from the intertidal down to subtidal water depths in two different carbonate factories in the Svalbard Archipelago: the bay ...
