The effects on population dynamical key-processes of a changing climate in arctic ecosystems
The present project aims at understanding and predicting how variations and changes in climate can affect key-processes that operate both on population dynamical and ecosystem level. …

Development of ocean climate during the last 20 000 years around Svalbard
The aim of the project is to reconstruct the paleoceanographic development of the waters around Svalbard since 20 000 yrs BP. This will be done by studying a suit of marine sediment cores taken around Svalbard.

A coastal, ice-associated arctic whale in a changing climate
Education In this project we will live-capture white whales in Svalbard to address the following: 1. Space use over the entire annual cycle - to discern how these whales move in relation to sea ice, bathymetry, glacier fronts and oceanographic conditions. 2. …

Ocean - sea ice - atmosphere teleconnections between the Southern Ocean and North Atlantic during the Holocene (OCTEL)
Research The OCTEL project aims to explore the ocean, sea-ice and atmosphere interactions both in the Southern Ocean and the northern North Atlantic in order to assess the manifestation of interhemispheric teleconnections and their influence on climate during last 11 700 years (the Holocene) with a …

Norwegian-Russian joint analysis and inter-calibration of climate observations and sensors within the framework of the IPY cluster project ARCDIV.NET
Research The Arctic climate is warming and its changes affect the whole physical climate system. The regional patterns of temperature, declining snow cover and increasing precipitation are modulated by natural modes of the atmospheric circulation. …

Norwegian-U.S. Scientific IPY Traverse of East Antarctica (2007-2009) (IPY Traverse)
Research Joint Norwegian - U.S. scientific ground traverse in East Antarctica. The field expedition involved scientific investigations along two overland traverses: one going from the Troll Station in Dronning Maud Land to Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in 2007-2008; and a return traverse by a …

Satellite Remote Sensing of Atmosphere-Surface Systems and Ground Truth Measurements
Education It is proposed to collect data for construction of (1) bio-optical models for coastal waters, (2) snow-ice optical property models, (3) aerosol optical property models, and (4) surface albedo models, and to use these models to further develop and improve satellite remote sensing tools that …

Marine ecosystem consequences of climate
Education The overall goal of this project is to determine the influence of climate variability and change on the energy transfer in the marine pelagic ecosystem in different water masses on the west coast of Spitsbergen. …

The Fram Strait Arctic Outflow Observatory
Monitoring This long-term project monitors the ocean currents and sea ice leaving the Arctic Ocean through Fram Strait. The project maintains a mooring array which provides a continuous, high-resolution time series of temperature, salinity, velocity and sea ice thickness measurements in the Arctic …

Holocene environmental change of Svalbard - multi-proxy climate reconstruction from lake sediments
In order to study past climates from time periods not covered by instrumental observations, we have to rely on indirect climate data. …
