  1. Hab heute einen kurzen Werder-Fanmarsch in Longyearbyen gemacht. 💚🤍 Auf 78 Grad Nord. Auf geht’s. Auswärtssieg in Köln heute. #werder #werderBremen #svw #longyearbyen #svalbard #arktis #KOESVW #Bundesliga

  2. #Klimawandel Die Verbreitung des Meereises in der #Arktis war im März rekordniedrig (Monatsbericht des norwegischen meteorologischen Instituts).

    Bei #Svalbard ( #Spitzbergen) das drittniedrigste Niveau für den Monat seit 1980. nrk.no/tromsogfinnmark/rekordl (norwegisch)

    What freezing plants in blocks of ice can tell us about the future of #Svalbard’s plant communities
    The polar #willow is a key forage species for Svalbard's #reindeer population. A warming #climate means these plants can be encased in ice rather than snow for much of the winter. Can they survive this?

  4. Comme le #Groenland l’archipel du #Svalbard dans l’ #Arctique attire toutes les convoitises

    Sous les hautes latitudes de l’Arctique, non loin du pôle Nord, le Svalbard fait figure de licorne géopolitique. Cet archipel isolé est un territoire norvégien, mais aujourd’hui, la #Norvège cherche à consolider sa souveraineté sur le Svalbard et à repousser les influences étrangères. courrierinternational.com/long

  5. #Narwhals become quieter as the #ArcticOcean grows louder
    As global temperatures continue to rise, the acoustic world narwhals depend on is rapidly shifting throughout their range, from northeastern #Canada and #Greenland to #Norway’s #Svalbard archipelago and #Arctic waters in #Russia. It’s getting louder. Increasing shipping traffic is interfering with the #whales’ ability to hunt and communicate.

  11. Word cloud showing the multidisciplinary contents from the book SPITSBERGEN SCIENCE EXPEDITIONS.

    Probably the most up-to-date and definitive book on the Arctic: SPITSBERGEN | Svalbard: Natural & Cultural History, written by leading European experts.

  13. La planche des rennes du Svalbard n’était pas complète sans l’ajout de tous ces croquis ! 🦌✨
    Ca apporte à la fois de l’esthétique et de la connaissance !

    C'est en dessinant le renne qui se gratte que j'ai réalisé que les fesses de renne ressemblaient pas mal au popotin d'un corgi 🐶 🤣

  14. Les joies de peindre un animal juste après l’avoir observé dans son milieu naturel… 🦭✨
    Ce phoque barbu était particulièrement beau. Quelques temps seulement après avoir observé ce mâle sur sa plaque de glace dans un fjord du Svalbard 🇳🇴, je l’ai peint directement sur une carte marine de l’archipel.

    Les jumelles ne sont pas là pour la déco: je guettais la faune par la fenêtre pendant que je peignais ! (Ours, baleines… En Arctique, il faut toujours être prêt 😄❄️)

  15. #travel

    I've been fantasizing about moving to #Svalbard because of the #polarnight phenomenon(though, sadly, only 3 glorious months of it). I LOVE LOVE LOVE night time. Then, I found out that the village makes its money through tourism, which means, potentially rude and hyper-entitled humans in my would-be quiet living destination, so I guess I'll have to shack up as close to the south pole in Antarctica as I can.

  16. Having a little field trip in the artic with the #unis belt wagon to the Svalbard Radar Station and the Kjell Henriksen Observatory. We were really lucky because we got to see the auroras again! :)

  18. Arctic Seed Vault Shows the Flawed Logic of #ClimateAdaptation
    Difficulties of #Svalbard #seed repository illustrate why we need to prevent #climate disaster rather than plan for it
    The seed vault embeds a conceit common to many adaptation plans: we know what we are facing, so if we plan well, things will go well. Given the state of action (or inaction) on #climatechage, we don’t have to ask whether Arctic warming and permafrost loss will escalate. It is a near certainty.

  19. I'm so geeking out rn...

    The first measurements of their kind of the "Ambipolar Current" have been made by the #NASA #Goddard Endurance mission in #Svalbard, #Norway.

    Video (how I find out): youtu.be/UCM1MaYC5lM

    Why am I flustered by this news? The #AmbipolarCurrent may well be a missing piece of the #AtmosphericElectricCircuit!

    The paper can be accessed under restrictions through Nature at nature.com/articles/s41586-024 (entire link is necessary for authorized access), but printing and download are restricted to paying individuals.

    Glyn Alexander Collinson at science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sci/bio/ and Alex Glocer at science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sci/bio/ were the two whom organized and coordinated the efforts to gather these groundbreaking measurements with a large team in support of them.

  20. The #Doomsday Vault, officially known as the #Svalbard Global #Seed Vault, is a secure seed bank on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago. It's designed to preserve a wide variety of plant seeds from around the world, ensuring biodiversity and agricultural security in case of global crises. Often referred to as humanity's insurance policy, the vault holds over a million seed samples, providing a vital backup to safeguard our #food supply for future generations. #Apocolypse

  21. Das Wettrennen um die nächste #Pandemie läuft bereits. 😱

    Erstmals wurde bei einem #Walross auf einer norwegischen Arktisinsel #Vogelgrippe nachgewiesen, berichtet ein Forscher des Norwegischen Polar-Instituts. Das Tier wurde auf der Insel Hopen im #Svalbard-Archipel gefunden. Untersuchungen eines deutschen Labors bestätigten den Befund.

  22. 10 Tage auf einem Schiff im Norden Spitzbergens. Nur einmal waren wir in der Zeit an Land. Das war bei dieser Walrosskolonie. Beeindruckende Tiere!

  23. I took many photos of mah very recent holiday tae #Svalbard #Norway. Including fascinating #airport #photos at the airports in #Munich #Germany and #Oslo. If in the unlikely event anyone is interested, do hit me up. Otherwise I shall do the usual #Masturbation and #weeping.

  24. The #SIOS (#Svalbard Integrated Observing System) Polar Night Week 2023 #PNW23 is soon underway !

    There is an online programme as well, make sure to check it out.

    (And of course I like the reusable wooden nametag very much 🙂).
