Circulation and exchange in a broad Arctic fjord using glider-based observations
Polar Research, 2018 In recent years, Svalbard fjords have experienced a substantial reduction in winter sea-ice extent. This has been linked to changes in wind stress patterns over Fram Strait and an increased transport of warm Atlantic Water into the fjords.

Morphological characterization of Recherchefjorden (Bellsund, Svalbard) using marine geomorphometry [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2018 Geomorphological research based on geomorphological mapping seeks to identify the origins and age of forms as well as to describe the process that created or transformed a particular form.

Nordlit, 2020 Cultural landscapes represent social structures, interests, and values. At the same time, the observer can derive, interpret, reinterpret, and inscribe new meanings to the landscape. Landscapes that are saturated with ideologically charged symbols dictate to the viewer what can and cannot be seen and derived from them.

Polar Research, 2017 Snow and ice determine winter forage availability for Arctic herbivores. Winter precipitation is anticipated to increase, and icing following warm spells and rain-on-snow (ROS) are likely to become more frequent. While this may reduce herbivore survival,

The influence of local winds on wind power characteristics in a High Arctic valley [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceWind power in the High Arctic is under-developed, and understanding of the local wind conditions is needed. Therefore, the average wind characteristics in the Svalbard valley Adventdalen are investigated using primarily observations from wind profilers ...

High-resolution digital outcrop model of the faults, fractures, and stratigraphy of the Agardhfjellet Formation cap rock shales at Konusdalen West, central Spitsbergen [PDF]
Earth System Science DataStructure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry has become an important tool for the digitalisation of outcrops as digital outcrop models (DOMs). DOMs facilitate the mapping of stratigraphy and discontinuous structures like folds, faults, and fractures from ...

Brute force prey metabarcoding to explore the diets of small invertebrates
Ecology and EvolutionPrey metabarcoding has become a popular tool in molecular ecology for resolving trophic interactions at high resolution, from various sample types and animals. To date, most predator–prey studies of small‐sized animals (
