The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 229-246., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Arctic geese in newly colonised, colder breeding areas have higher spring body mass and breed earlier relative to the onset of spring. [PDF]
J Anim EcolMoving to colder areas allows arctic geese to reduce the negative effects of climate change (trophic mismatch), but this comes at a price for parents as they face harsher nesting conditions (snow cover), which only parents capable of large investments can cope with: climate change effects differ between individuals within populations.

The impact of a seasonally ice free Arctic Ocean on the temperature, precipitation and surface mass balance of Svalbard [PDF]
, 2012 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.

Permafrost trapped natural gas in Svalbard, Norway
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Permafrost is widespread in the High Arctic, including the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. The uppermost permafrost intervals have been well studied, but the processes at its base and the impacts of the underlying geology have been largely overlooked.

An emerging pathway of Atlantic Water to the Barents Sea through the Svalbard Archipelago: drivers and variability [PDF]
Ocean ScienceThe Barents Sea, an important component of the Arctic Ocean, is experiencing changes in its ocean currents, stratification, sea ice variability, and marine ecosystems. Inflowing Atlantic Water (AW) is a key driver of these changes.

Nitrate stable isotopes and major ions in snow and ice samples from four Svalbard sites [PDF]
, 2015 Increasing reactive nitrogen (N-r) deposition in the Arctic may adversely impact N-limited ecosystems. To investigate atmospheric transport of N-r to Svalbard, Norwegian Arctic, snow and firn samples were collected from glaciers and analysed to define ...
