The project is intended to increase our understanding of aerosol processes and waves in the middle atmosphere, and to compare Antarctic and Arctic tropospheric aerosols. This research could also increase our knowledge of ...

The researchers studied archival sources and did field work using historical-archaeological methods to collect data on the exploitation of the polar areas’ natural resources. The results were compared with industrial historical ...

The aim is to study where cosmic radiation comes from (near black holes?) and what the dark matter in the universe consists of. The researchers are making use ...

The purpose of the project was to explain the industrial development and exploitation in the polar areas from 1600 until today, and the influence of the industry on the geopolitical situation and the ...

In January 2013, researchers from the Swedish Museum of Natural History returned to Seymour Island in Antarctica to locate traces of Palaeogene mammals. Seymour Island, east of the ...

This research project seeks to improve our understanding of the processes that influence the refreezing of water in snow and firn, and to provide more detailed knowledge of these processes. The ...

The RINK project investigated how the ice margin reacted to earlier periods of warming, the interrelationship between sea-ice and sea-level changes ...

The international RINK (Respons af Indlandsisen til Naturlige Klimaændringer – Response of the Inland ice-sheet to natural climate ...

Within an earlier conservation project (SEFALO +), more than 350 Arctic fox cubs were caught and earmarked in the Swedish mountains in 2003–2008. ...

This was accomplished by analyzing satellite remote sensing data of analogue gully sites on Svalbard by using similar methodologies to those used in previous ...

... Island), palaeobotanical (Eocene floras of Svalbard, Miocene floras on Iceland), biological (biogeography, molecular data), and geological/geophysical (sea floor spreading, plate tectonics) evidence that indicates one or two landbridges. But ...

The Lower Palaeozoic rocks of the Valhallfonna Formation are exposed along the coast of the Valhallfonna glacier in North Ny Friesland, North-Eastern Spitsbergen. Although ...

Long-term observations were conducted at the Zeppelin station in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. Principal investigator Johan Ström Department of ...

Birds are excellent indicators of environmental change, such as biologically important effects of climate change, and consequently studies of birds ...

The geographic position of the Commander Islands is of key interest as they are isolated from the North East Asian mainland, but are in close proximity to the North American continent forming a continuation ...

... expedition to the northernmost land area on Earth: Johannes V. Jensen Land in northern Greenland. Principal investigator Per Möller Department of Geology, Lund University

In this study researchers analysed satellite remote sensing data of analogue gully locales on Svalbard by using similar methodologies to those used in previous ...

The project’s aim was to reconstruct the relative sea-level history of the Bredefjord area. This makes it possible to model the evolution of the southern part of ...

The LASHIPA project (Large Scale HIstorical Exploitation of Polar Areas) was an endorsed and financed research project within the International Polar Year 2007–2008, with ...

... in understanding sea ice dynamics in the Arctic over the past decade, the connection between sea ice, ocean circulation and ecosystem changes remains poorly established. Primary productivity is one of the components where we lack basic ...
