Good day out! Visited two nearby glaciers today to clean up old mass balance stakes and random trash. We also took drone images for snow free DEM and outline of Tellbreen and Blekumbreen.

Just finished a field work in Billefjorden Trough, a Late Carboniferous rift basin in the Svalbard region, as part of UNIS AG 836 course. 7 days with no internet, no shower, and had to stay in the Czech research station. Fun time! More photos are coming!!

The last weeks we have used preliminary results in the Arct-Risk project in the master course Safety Management in the Arctic at UNIS to educate tomorrow's experts in climate adaptation and natural hazard warning systems

The boreal autumn really starting to show its hand now, with the first significant snow to sea level in Svalbard and a hefty (albeit late) re-emergence of the fabled 528-DAM line! Some of this cooler air will filter south towards the UK, lending a seasonal feel to the weekend.

Martin Indreiten, daglig leder ved Arctic Safety Centre, UNIS og prosjektmedlem i ArctRisk var i forrige uke gjest på Abels tårn på NRK Radio der han bl.a. snakket om aktiviteter og resultater i Arct-Risk prosjektet radio.nrk.no/podkast/abels_…

Evening work. Workshop on Cultural Heritage research in Svalbard. What a nice and inspiring group of people to spend time with. And learning about how other ongoing research in Svalbard and Greenland relates to our coastal dynamics work in #DynaRisk and #C2C UNIS

Excited to start the "Methane in a Changing Arctic" conference today!! CAGE UNIS Kelly Redeker w/ Prof. Andy Hodson

Interesting and engaging talk by Prof.Andy Hodson on glacial and periglacial methane seeps of Svalbard CAGE UNIS

For those in #Svalbard: This year there is a new meltwater channel in #Tellbreen snout where the easy ascent from Helvetiadalen used to be. In the past, the channel ran at the north edge of the glacier. The channel is big enough to be a risk, especially early in the season!

Study in Svalbard! We've opened for applications to spring semester 2023. 42 courses at BA/MSc/PhD level in #biology, #geology, #geophysics & #technology. Deadline: 15 October. bit.ly/3Sq8M90 #admission #studies #Svalbard #Arctic #studentlife #Phdlife

I came back for the AG-340 Arctic Glaciers and Melt Season Dynamics UNIS in 2019! We had a perfect summer observing glaciers, measuring melt water runoff, doing sediment sampling ... and more! The highlight: a 4-day cruise around Svalbard to explore remote glaciers ⛵️

I was lucky to come back a fourth time for studying Arctic glaciers in Spring, while taking the AG-325 Glaciology course UNIS ❄️Those 6 weeks were unlike the others: snowscooter driving, extreme temperatures < - 15°C , glacier caving, snow pits and ice coring🤩

Calling Masters and PhD students - come to Svalbard in spring 2023 to learn about Arctic Tectonics and Volcanism. Applications for UNIS AG-351 and AG-851 now open.

Fremtidens arbeidskraft kan ikke læres opp på gårsdagens teknologi. Etableringen av et grønt flytende arktisk campus er kanskje det aller største bidraget Norge kan gi til FNs havforskningstiår, men vi må starte nå UiT Norges arktiske universitet NTNU UNIS khrono.no/forskning-i-ar…

Super excited to be learning about the Arctic marine ecosystem with UNIS for the next 6 weeks & stunned by the amazing nature here, but also saddened by the fact that Svalbard is warming much faster than most other places & will look very different soon.

Congrats to Jonassen/Christiansen-team for winning prestigious award for permafrost research #fpaward #arcticcircle #svalbard unis.no/prestigious-aw…

Follow the monitoring of snow buntings in Adventdalen, Svalbard, a project studying Arctic adaptations, ecological interactions, climate change, pollution, migration and more since 1998. NINAnature NTNU UNIS 📸 Stuart Thomson, stuartthomson.no

Did you know that the snow bunting is the only songbird on Svalbard? It is actually the northernmost breeding passerine species. Check out the linktree in our bio for more information. NTNU NINAnature UNIS #svalbard #snowbunting #birds #conservation

Lots of activity and curiosity as I got to teach geology to a group of kids from the school in Longyearbyen today at UNIS. They were excited and participating, and now know that rocks are fun. We also made a cake… but no photos of that.
