The dynamics of Chironomidae (Insecta: Diptera) assemblages in response to environmental change during the past 700 years on Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)The impact of recent natural and human-induced environmental change on chironomid faunas on Svalbard has been investigated. The modern chironomid fauna was studied from surface-sediment samples collected from 23 lakes in ... -
Fluid flow properties of the Wilhelmøya Subgroup,a potential unconventional CO2 storage unit in central Spitsbergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The Upper Triassic to Middle Jurassic Wilhelmøya Subgroup forms one of the more suitable reservoir units on the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The target siliciclastic storage unit, which is encountered at approx. ... -
Lake-sediment records of recent environmental change on Svalbard: results of diatom analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Surface sediments from 23 lakes on Svalbard were analysed for diatoms. 182 taxa were found but samples generally have a low richness, with the majority of sites dominated by benthic genera such as Fragilaria, Navicula, and ... -
Mapping sediment–landform assemblages to constrain lacustrine sedimentation in a glacier-fed lake catchment in northwest Spitsbergen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-24)Changes in the deposition of fine-grained rock-flour in glacier-fed lakes reflect glacier variability. This meltwater-driven signal is, however, often overprinted by other processes. To constrain the signature of lacustrine ... -
A quantitative description of the West Spitsbergen Current by combining hydrography, altimetry and in-situ current meters
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)In a warming Arctic Ocean (AO) it is important to study its main source of oceanic heat and salt. Here, seasonal climatological sections of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC) across 78.83°N have been constructed using ... -
Recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – an introduction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)This paper outlines an interdisciplinary project on recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on the high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard (76º30'N – 80º30'N). It describes the rationale and aims of the project ...
