Methane release from warming-induced hydrate dissociation in the West Svalbard continental margin: timing, rates, and geological controls

open access: yes, 2013
Hundreds of plumes of methane bubbles, first observed in 2008, emanate from an area of the seabed off West Svalbard that has become 1°C warmer over the past 30 years. The distribution of the plumes, lying close to and upslope from the present upper limit

Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

Biofluorescence in polar zoarcid eelpouts: The Arctic eelpout Lycodes reticulatus (Reinhardt, 1835) and the Antarctic eelpout Pachycara brachycephalum (Pappenheim, 1912)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biofluorescence is widespread among marine fish but remains poorly documented in polar ecosystems. Using hyperspectral imaging, we report fluorescent emissions in two polar zoarcid eelpouts. A captive Antarctic eelpout (Pachycara brachycephalum) displayed uniform bright green fluorescence (~500–520 nm), whereas an Arctic eelpout (Lycodes ...

Harmonising Environmental Research and Monitoring of Priority Pollutants and Impurities in the Svalbard Atmosphere (HERMOSA)

open access: yes, 2023
This is chapter 4 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2022. Many characteristics of atmospheric air are measured in Svalbard, including levels of chemical pollution, dark dust connected to soot, and living organisms, but most

Circumscription of three new taxa of Merismopedia‐like Cyanobacteria shows how far convergent evolution can go

open access: yesJournal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Merismopedia (Merismopediaceae, Chroococcales), characterized by rectangular colonies with cells arranged in regular perpendicular rows and columns, represents a challenging study system due to its limited cultivability. The genus recently underwent taxonomic revision using cultivation‐independent techniques and a polyphasic approach.

Geochemistry and provenance study of sediments from Krossfjorden and Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (Arctic Ocean)

open access: yes, 2018
Major, trace and rare earth element (REE) concentrations in combination with textural and mineralogical analysis of sediments have been used to understand geochemical fractionation in the sediment due to weathering and subsequent transport in the ...

Atmospheric black carbon in Svalbard

open access: yes, 2020
This is chapter 8 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2019 (https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue2). Black carbon particles are emitted into the atmosphere during combustion and reside in the air for days.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?

open access: yesMarine Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...
