On 22 August 2012 at 21:43 UTC Oden reached the North Pole for the 7th time. The arrival at the North Pole was celebrated by raising the ...
MARA, the Moveable Atmospheric Radar for Antarctica, is used to study winds, turbulence and layering in the atmosphere. After two complete ...
Significant changes in the behaviour of Antarctic ice sheet catchments are presently delivering increased ice volumes to the ocean. To assess future trajectories of such change it is ...
... over the past decade in understanding the Arctic sea ice dynamics, the connection between sea ice, ocean circulation and ecosystem changes remains poorly established. The coupling of the different system components, and their response ...
We wonder why Greenland glaciers are currently melting and where their fresh meltwaters go. All this extra freshwater is causing sea-level rise and could disturb the whole ocean circulation of the North ...
In response to Arctic sea ice retreat, the Svalbard climate is warming at an amplified rate with respect to the global mean. This has a direct impact on ...
Vertebrates first emerged onto land during the Devonian, 358 million years ago. They returned to the sea 108 million years later, ...
Obtaining long term data series in polar regions is becoming increasingly important to better understand and model ongoing environmental ...
The Arctic carbon cycle is a key component of the ocean and, by virtue of its interaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), also of fundamental importance to Earth’s climate. The Arctic Ocean is a system in rapid ...
... are necessary for the marine ecosystems and thus the particle transport is a key factor for Arctic marine life. Climate change is suggested to increase the supply of carbon, nutrients and trace elements from continental sources into the ...
