Scientific Applications of Unmanned Vehicles in Svalbard (UAV Svalbard)
, 2021 This is chapter 3 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2020 (https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue3). The polar regions are among the most sensitive areas of the Earth and changes in the Arctic have global consequences. Therefore, more and better Arctic research is needed, and unmanned vehicles are an important tool in this ...

Automated characterization and quantification of hydrocarbon seeps based on frontal illuminated video observations [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2015 Hydrocarbon releases, either natural or due to anthropogenic activities, are of major relevance for the marine environment. In this work we specify our approach to quantify these seeps by subsea imaging utilizing camera systems and frontal illumination ...

Importance of snow as component of surface mass balance of Arctic glacier (Hansbreen, southern Spitsbergen) [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2019 Snowmelt is a very important component of freshwater resources in the polar environment. Seasonal fluctuations in the water supply to glacial drainage systems influence glacier dynamics and indirectly affect water circulation and stratification in fjords.
