• Timing of Calanus finmarchicus diapause in stochastic environments 

      Bandara, Kanchana; Varpe, Øystein; Maps, Frédéric; Ji, Rubao; Eiane, Ketil; Tverberg, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In environments with strong seasonality, many herbivorous zooplankton remain active only during the productive season and undergo a period of inactivity and suppressed development termed ‘diapause’ during the unproductive ...
    • Two hundred years of zooplankton vertical migration research 

      Bandara, Kanchana; Varpe, Øystein; Wijewardene, Lishani; Tverberg, Vigdis; Eiane, Ketil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Vertical migration is a geographically and taxonomically widespread behaviour among zooplankton that spans across diel and seasonal timescales. The shorter-term diel vertical migration (DVM) has a periodicity of up to 1 ...
    • Variability and decadal trends in the Isfjorden (Svalbard) ocean climate and circulation – An indicator for climate change in the European Arctic 

      Skogseth, Ragnheid; Olivier, Léa L.A.; Nilsen, Frank; Falck, Eva; Fraser, Neil J.; Tverberg, Vigdis; Ledang, Anna Birgitta; Vader, Anna; Jonassen, Marius Opsanger; Søreide, Janne; Cottier, Finlo Robert; Berge, Jørgen; Ivanov, Boris V.; Falk-Petersen, Stig (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Isfjorden, a broad Arctic fjord in western Spitsbergen, has shown significant changes in hydrography and inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) the last decades that only recently have been observed in the Arctic Ocean north of ...
    • Warming of Atlantic Water in two west Spitsbergen fjords over the last century (1912-2009) 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Tverberg, Vigdis; Ivanov, Boris; Nilsen, Frank; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Granskog, Mats A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-05-06)
      The recently observed warming of west Spitsbergen fjords has led to anomalous sea-ice conditions and has implications for the marine ecosystem. We investigated long-term trends of maximum temperature of Atlantic Water (AW) ...
    • Water mass modification in an Arctic fjord through cross-shelf exchange: The seasonal hydrography of Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Cottier, Finlo; Tverberg, Vigdis; Inall, Mark; Svendsen, Harald; Nilsen, Frank; Griffiths, Colin (Journal article, 2005-12-08)
      Kongsfjorden and the West Spitsbergen Shelf is a region whose seasonal hydrography is dominated by the balance of Atlantic Water, Arctic waters, and glacial melt. Regional seasonality and the cross-shelf exchange processes ...
