Uncertainty Assessment for Mean Snow Cover Depth Derived from Direct Measurements on Aldegondabreen Glacier (Svalbard)

Лëд и снег, 2023
This study introduces an empirical equation allowing to estimate an uncertainty of area-averaged snow depth on the Aldegondabreen Glacier, computed from standard snow surveys and made by an avalanche probe or by similar equipment.

Greening of Svalbard

Science of The Total Environment
Svalbard, located between 76°30'N and 80°50'N, is among the regions in the world with the most rapid temperature increase. We processed a cloud-free time-series of MODIS-NDVI for Svalbard. The dataset is interpolated to daily data during the 2000-2022 period with 232 m pixel resolution.

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Reconstruction of Air Temperature Series at Russian Station in Barentsburg (Svalbard)

Российская Арктика, 2020
The longest instrumental meteorological observations on the Svalbard archipelago were obtained in the Russian town Barentsburg, where the first meteorological station (MS) appeared back in 1932, however, the use of these data in its original form is ...

Delineating seasonal shifts in reindeer habitat and diet selection by integrating GPS telemetry and stable isotope analysis

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Seasonal changes shape herbivore behaviour by altering forage availability and habitat conditions; however, few studies integrate diet and habitat selection data across temporal scales. This study uses seasonality as a unifying framework to combine fine‐scale GPS‐based habitat selection data with broader‐scale dietary information from stable isotope ...

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...
