Seasonal presence, movements and behaviour of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in Isfjorden, Svalbard
Abstract Atlantification is increasing the inflow of warm, salty Atlantic water into the Arctic region. The fjords on the western coast of Svalbard are experiencing Atlantification, enabling boreal species, such as Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), to expand their distribution northwards.

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.

The Bayelva high Arctic permafrost long-term observation site: an opportunity for joint international research on permafrost, atmosphere, ecology and snow [PDF]
At present, the Arctic climate is changing much more rapidly than the rest of the globe, and yet observational data available in the region is poor.

Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.

Glaciochemical evidence of spatial and temporal environmental variability across Svalbard [PDF]
Huippuvuorten lakijäätiköiltä kairatut jäänäytteet ovat osoittautuneet hyödyllisiksi arkistoiksi, jotka kattavat useita vuosisatoja ja kertovat Barentsin alueen paleoympäristöstä sekä alueen ilmaston kytköksistä Euroopan arktisiin alueisiin.

Enchytraeids are an important component of Arctic ecosystems both as decomposers and part of the foodchain. Compared to other regions of the High Arctic, the enchytraeid fauna of Spitsbergen and some other islands of the Svalbard archipelago have been ...

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

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]
The observed decline in summer sea ice extent since the 1970s is predicted to continue until the Arctic Ocean is seasonally ice free during the 21st Century. This will lead to a much perturbed Arctic climate with large changes in ocean surface energy flux.

The Poster Child of Climate Change? The Changing Iconography of the Arctic Polar Bear
Short Abstract This paper shows how climate change reports in popular media incorporate images of polar bears. Conventional images of polar bears have been widely discredited. Alternative images can help to convey messages about crisis and emergency, as well as global warming, and show how spatial relations are changing in consequence.
