Abstract. Dust particles from high latitudes have a potentially large local, regional, and global significance to climate the environment as short-lived forcers, air pollutants, nutrient sources. Identifying locations of local dust sources their emission, transport, deposition processes is important for understanding multiple impacts high-latitude (HLD) on Earth's systems. Here, we identify, describe, quantify source intensity (SI) values, which show potential soil surfaces emission scaled...
Abstract Changes in active layer thickness (ALT) over Arctic and permafrost regions have an important impact on rainfall-runoff transformation. General warming is observed across Svalbard Archipelago corresponds to increases ground temperatures. Permafrost thaw changes ALT due climate alter how water routed stored catchments, thus both surface subsurface processes. The overall aim of the present study examine relationships between temporal depth hydrological model parameters, together with...
The Arctic is one of the most vulnerable regions on Earth concerning climate change and increasingly affected by pollution from human activities. ICEBERG project (Innovative Community Engagement for Building Effective Resilience Ocean Pollution-Control Governance in Context Climate Change) a multidisciplinary initiative funded European Union. It focuses assessing types, sources, distributions, impacts ecosystems coastal communities across Arctic. Case studies West Svalbard, South Greenland,...
In the face of climate change transforming snow cover and permafrost in Arctic, it is important to enhance our understanding how snowmelt interacts with environment. Here, we use stable isotopes 17O, 18O 2H coupled hydro-chemical tracers process-based modelling, trace from evolution snowpack river runoff groundwater recharge a coastal Arctic The study based on data obtained an unglaciated Fuglebekken catchment 1.27 km2 situated southwest Spitsbergen. This area represents sea terraces...
Marine plastic pollution poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health, particularly in vulnerable Arctic regions. Therefore, assessing the extent impacts of contamination these regions through a One Health framework is essential for developing strategies build resilience populations ecosystems. The Horizon Europe ICEBERG Project addresses challenges at ocean-coast-land continuum, working partnership with Indigenous peoples local communities south Greenland, northwest Iceland,...
We present a thorough evaluation of the water soluble fraction trace element composition (Ca, Sr, Mg, Na, K, Li, B, Rb, U, Ni, Co, As, Cs, Cd, Mo, Se, Eu, Ba, V, Ge, Ga, Cr, P, Ti, Mn, Zr, Ce, Zn, Fe, Gd, Y, Pb, Bi, Yb, Al, Nb, Er, Nd, Dy, Sm, Ho, Th, La, Lu, Tm, Pr, Tb, In, Tl) and their fluxes in annual snowpack firn Hansbreen (a tidewater glacier terminating Hornsund fjord, southwest Spitsbergen). The samples were obtained from 3 m deep snow pit dug at plateau (450 a.s.l.), 2 core...

The primary environmental concern related to nuclear power is the production of radioactive waste hazardous humans and environment. main scientific technological problems address this are storage disposal monitoring dispersion species into In work, we determined an anomalously high 14C activity, well above modern natural background, on surface seasonal snow sampled in early May 2019 glaciers Hornsund fjord area (Svalbard). Due lack local sources, concentrations suggest long-range atmospheric...
<p>Despite the fact that glaciers and ice sheets have been monitored for more than a century, knowledge on glacial biota remains poor. Cryoconite holes are water-filled reservoirs glacier’s surface one of most extreme ecosystems micro-invertebrates. Tardigrada, also known as water bears, common inhabitant cryoconite holes. In this paper we present novel data morphology, diversity, distribution role in food web tardigrades Arctic glaciers. From 33 sampled 6 Spitsbergen, 25 were found...
Glaciers are decaying due to global warming. Svalbard is a very sensitive area within the European High Arctic and studies on glacier changes evolutions representative for Arctic. The present work aims glaciers at Spitsbergen; we investigated meltwater supplied by glacierized basins in introducing radioactive isotope measurements combination with classical parameters. Among natural elements, most promising noble gas radon, more precisely 222Rn, short half life of 3.8 days possibility...
The aluminium (Al) cycle in glacierised basins has not received a great deal of attention studies biogeochemical cycles. As Al may be toxic for biota, it is important to investigate the processes leading its release into environment. It yet been ascertained whether filterable (passing through pore size 0.45 μm) incorporated cycles basins. Our study aims determine relationship between bringing and glacier‐derived nutrients (particularly Fe Si) We investigated Werenskiöldbreen basin (44.1 km 2...
ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to test applicability the conceptual catchment run-off HBV model simulate discharge in small non-glaciated Arctic catchment. Within two ablation seasons, 2014 and 2015, Fuglebekken (Spitsbergen, Svalbard), selected hydro-meteorological measurements were conducted, including 10 min interval by Nivus PCM-F device with active Doppler sensor. parameters calibrated on from both years separately verified independently. As transformation rainfall runoff includes a...
Landslides, as one of the main problems in mountainous areas, are a challenging issue for modern geophysics. The triggers that cause these phenomena diverse (including geological, geomorphological, and hydrological conditions, climatic factors, earthquakes) can occur conjunction with each other. Human activity is also relevant, undoubtedly contributing to intensification landslide phenomena. One production artificial snow on ski slopes. This paper presents multimethod approach imaging...
Ariebreen is a small (0.37 km2)-valley glacier located in southern Spitsbergen. Our ground-penetrating radar surveys of the show that it less than 30 m thick on average, with maximum thickness 82 m, and appears to be entirely cold. By analysing digital terrain models ice surface from different dates, we determine area volume changes during two periods, 1936-1990 1990-2007. The total has decreased by 73% entire period 1936-2007, which equivalent mean mass balance rate -0.61±0.17 y-1 w.eq....
