Asynchronous Accumulation of Organic Carbon and Nitrogen in the Atlantic Gateway to the Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-15)Nitrogen (N) is the main limiting nutrient for biological production in the Arctic Ocean. While dissolved inorganic N (DIN) is well studied, the substantial pool of N bound in organic matter (OM) and its bioavailability ... -
Benthic algal vegetation in Isfjorden, Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-11)Benthic algal vegetation was investigated at 10 sites in Isfjorden, Svalbard. Five sites were visited during summer 2010 and five during summer 2012. Both the littoral and sublittoral vegetation were sampled, the littoral ... -
Distribution and autecology of chrysophyte cysts from high Arctic Svalbard lakes: preliminary evidence of recent environmental change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Chrysophycean stomatocyst assemblages were analysed from the sediments of 17 lakes and ponds from Svalbard as one component of a multi-proxy investigation of recent environmental change in the high Arctic. Sediment cores ... -
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 ... -
Environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard: sediment chronology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Sediment cores collected from eight lakes along the western coast of Svalbard as part of a project investigating atmospheric pollution and environmental change in Arctic regions were dated radiometrically using natural ... -
Geomicrobial characterisation of a 60 m long permafrost core, taken over a future CO2 storage site at Svalbard
(Master thesis, 2014-09-11)In connection with a planned CO2 storage pilot project in the Arctic, a 60 m long permafrost core was drilled in Adventdalen, Svalbard, representing the poorly studied deep permafrost ecosystems. The on-shore drilling was ... -
Lake-sediment evidence for local and remote sources of atmospherically deposited pollutants on Svalbard
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Twenty-one lakes along the west coast of Svalbard were cored between 28 July and 14 August 1995. Five cores were 210Pb dated and analysed for spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCPs), indicators of deposition from fossil-fuel ... -
Microbial winter and spring bloom dynamics in a high Arctic fjord
(Master thesis, 2014-06-02)Knowledge of the seasonal dynamics within the Arctic marine microbial network is scarce, particularly during the polar night period. The abundances of different microbial groups in Adventfjorden, Svalbard were investigated ... -
Novel and Unexpected Microbial Diversity in Acid Mine Drainage in Svalbard (78° N), Revealed by Culture-Independent Approaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-13)Svalbard, situated in the high Arctic, is an important past and present coal mining area. Dozens of abandoned waste rock piles can be found in the proximity of Longyearbyen. This environment offers a unique opportunity for ... -
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 ... -
Recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – modern limnology, vegetation, and pollen deposition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)Twenty-four lakes on Svalbard were sampled for palaeolimnological studies and are described in terms of their geographical location, catchment characteristics, water chemistry, and flora. No sediment could be retrieved ... -
Recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – synthesis and general conclusions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2004)The major patterns of biostratigraphical and geochemical change detected in a multidisciplinary study on recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard are summarised and synthesized. The patterns ... -
Resilience to exogenous shocks in environmental management regimes in the Arctic – lessons learned from survivors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06-13)A changing climate will impact not only the environment but all levels of governance thereof, including the context of the close to 400 multilateral environmental management agreements signed since the year 2000. For the ... -
Synechococcus in the Atlantic Gateway to the Arctic Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-10-05)Increasing temperatures, with pronounced effects at high latitudes, have raised questions about potential changes in species composition, as well as possible increased importance of small-celled phytoplankton in marine ...
