Contemporary landscape transformation in a small Arctic catchment (Bratteggdalen, Svalbard) [PDF]

Polish Polar Research, 2023
Small Arctic catchments that are sensitive to climate change reinforced by Arctic amplification remain poorly studied. Since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciers on Svalbard have been retreating, and thus, many catchments have transformed from ...

Escape of methane gas from the seabed along the West Spitsbergen continental margin [PDF]

, 2009
More than 250 plumes of gas bubbles have been discovered emanating from the seabed of the West Spitsbergen continental margin, in a depth range of 150-400 m, at and above the present upper limit of the gas hydrate stability zone (GHSZ).

Benthic foraminiferal investigations in Middle to Late Quaternary sections of Kongsfjordhallet, north-west Svalbard

Polar Research, 2023
Stratigraphic sites in north-west Svalbard record at least six significant glacial advances in the last 200 Ky, and sediments deposited under locally high relative sea level during intervening interstadials or interglacials contain abundant benthic ...

Formation of new periglacial lakes in the Grønfjord basin (Svalbard) in 1938–2010

Лëд и снег, 2022
Based on remote sensing and field methods, the state of the glacial lakes located in the Grønfjord Bay basin, Svalbard, was assessed for 2008–2010. New lakes were formed due to the retreat of the mountain-valley glaciers of the Nordenskiöld Land and the ...
