Cratering behaviour and faecal C:N ratio in relation to seasonal snowpack characteristics in a High-Arctic ungulate

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 Swedish Arctic Fox Project: 40 years of research in ecology and conservation

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
The 4 central research themes in The Swedish Arctic Fox Project and key deliverables for practical conservation achieved over 4 decades. Abstract The scientific community widely recognizes the value of long‐term studies, especially those with individual‐level resolution; however, maintaining a consecutive data series is associated with multiple ...

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.

The influence of local winds on wind power characteristics in a High Arctic valley [PDF]

Wind Energy Science
Wind 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 ...

Experimental and field evidence indicate that islet‐nesting tundra birds experience reduced nest predation and benefit indirectly from high snow goose densities

Oikos, EarlyView.
Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.

Terrestrial photography applications on snow cover in Svalbard (PASSES)

, 2021
This is chapter 10 of the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2020 (https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue3). Ground-based observations are critical requirements for many disciplines that are trying to monitor climate change in a ...

Eddy kinetic energy and energy conversion rates along the Atlantic Water boundary current north of Svalbard [PDF]

Ocean Science
On the continental slope north of Svalbard, the boundary current carrying Atlantic Water (AW) loses heat as it flows eastward. This cooling cannot be fully attributed to atmospheric heat loss or turbulent mixing.

Electrical Resistivity Tomography for the 2D and 3D Investigation of Pingos and Permafrost Mounds in Northern Canada's Mountain and Coastland Areas

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pingos and related permafrost mounds are widespread periglacial landforms in Arctic environments that are ice‐rich on the one hand and contain taliks on the other, making them vulnerable to climate change. So far, the interior, geophysical characteristics, and distribution of ground ice within these dome‐ or cone‐shaped features have not been ...
