... and crew were changed on 20 August in Barrow, when the second leg of the expedition began. The route back to Scandinavia crossed the Lomonosov Ridge, an underwater mountain chain near the North Pole, and the expedition returned to ...
This research project tied together chemical and physical process studies in order to improve our understanding of the forces that drive the natural production of ...
Dronning Maud Land is one of the least studied regions of Antarctica in terms of variations in ice sheet thickness and dynamics. There are plenty of potential study sites in the mountain ...
Permafrost represents an enormous potential storehouse of greenhouse gases in the form of frozen carbon and sediment. Increased warming, which has already been observed in the region, results in the increased transport ...
... interviewing researchers and analyzing any symbols of a national presence in the built environment, researchers can study the extent to which research stations promote political legitimacy for countries seeking influence in matters ...
... the archipelago in 2006 as the result of the joint efforts of the Russian Consulate in Spitsbergen, the Ministry of Education and Arktikugol (a Russian coal mining company). Moreover, in 2012 a Russian Agency of Tourism (Rosturism) claimed ...
... contourite drifts identified on the eastern side of the Fram Strait. For this we will encompass a full range of time scales, from instantaneous (CTD) and seasonal (moorings) oceanographic measurements, to the recent (box corer) and ...
Recent discoveries in Arctic geology have suggested that the Caledonian mountains (which track from Scotland through Norway and similarly from Appalachia across Greenland) actually ...
... environment on earth as a comparable environment to the cold regions of Mars. By studying these land areas we can gain a better understanding of how the Martian climate has evolved over time. Swedish participant Andreas Johnsson ...
... incorporates for the first time the multiple ice dome ice sheet configuration and its deglaciation on Svalbard. Calculated post-glacial uplift data will be integrated from Franz-Josef-Land and Novaya Zemlya and the tectonic uplift of ...
The objective of the LASHIPA project was to clarify the historical development of large-scale natural resource exploitation in the polar areas from the 17th century to the present, and ...
... out in space and in our atmosphere. They could also be produced by dark matter particles colliding inside the sun. Because of their neutral charge, neutrinos are not affected by the magnetic field in space, and their direction of travel ...
