      Schlegel, Robert; Bartsch, Inka; Bischof, Kai; Bjørst, Lill Rastad; Dannevig, Halvor; Diehl, Nora; Duarte, Pedro; Hovelsrud, Grete Kaare; Juul-Pedersen, Thomas; Lebrun, Anaïs; Merillet, Laurene; Miller, Cale; Ren, Carina; Sejr, Mikael; Søreide, Janne; Vonnahme, Tobias R.; Gattuso, Jean-Pierre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Fjord systems are transition zones between land and sea, resulting in complex and dynamic environments. They are of particular interest in the Arctic as they harbour ecosystems inhabited by a rich range of species and ...
    • Feeding at the front line: Interannual variation in the use of glacier fronts by foraging black-legged kittiwakes 

      Bertrand, Philip; Strøm, Hallvard; Bêty, Joël; Steen, Harald; Kohler, Jack; Vihtakari, Mikko; Van Pelt, Ward; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Hop, Haakon; Harris, Stephanie M.; Patrick, Samantha C.; Assmy, Philipp; Wold, Anette; Duarte, Pedro; Moholdt, Geir; Descamps, Sébastien (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Tidewater glacier fronts can represent important foraging areas for Arctic predators. Their ecological importance is likely to change in a warmer Arctic. Their profitability and use by consumers are expected to vary in ...
    • Implementation and evaluation of open boundary conditions for sea ice in a regional coupled ocean (ROMS) and sea ice (CICE) modeling system 

      Duarte, Pedro; Brændshøi, Jostein; Shcherbin, Dmitry; Barras, Pauline; Albretsen, Jon; Gusdal, Yvonne; Szapiro, Nicholas; Martinsen, Andreas Rostrup; Samuelsen, Annette; Wang, Keguang; Debernard, Jens Boldingh (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE) is used by several Earth system models where sea ice boundary conditions are not necessary, given their global scope. However, regional and local implementations of sea ice models require ...
    • Leads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ic

    • Pelagic ecosystem characteristics across the atlantic water boundary current from Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic ocean during summer (2010-2014) 

      Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Philipp; Wold, Anette; Sundfjord, Arild; Daase, Malin; Duarte, Pedro; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Gluchowska, Marta; Wiktor, Józef Maria; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Józef Maria Jr.; Kristiansen, Svein; Fransson, Agneta Ingrid; Chierici, Melissa; Vihtakari, Mikko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      The northern coast of Svalbard contains high-arctic fjords, such as Rijpfjorden (80°N 22°30′E). This area has experienced higher sea and air temperatures and less sea ice in recent years, and models predict increasing ...
    • Seasonal plankton dynamics in Kongsfjorden during two years of contrasting environmental conditions 

      Assmy, Philipp; Kvernvik, Ane Cecilie; Hop, Haakon; Hoppe, Clara J.M.; Chierici, Melissa; David T., Divya; Duarte, Pedro; Fransson, Agneta; García, Laura M.; Patuła, Weronika; Kwaśniewski, Sławomir; Maturilli, Marion; Pavlova, Olga; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Jozef M; Wold, Anette; Wolf, Klara K.E.; Bailey, Allison Michelle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Seasonal plankton time-series data are presented from Kongsfjorden from two years with contrasting environmental conditions. Kongsfjorden (west coast of Spitsbergen – 79°N) integrates inputs from Atlantic and Arctic waters, ...
    • Tidewater glaciers and bedrock characteristics control the phytoplankton growth environment in a fjord in the arctic 

      Halbach, Laura; Vihtakari, Mikko; Duarte, Pedro; Everett, Alistair; Granskog, Mats; Hop, Haakon; Kauko, Hanna Maria; Kristiansen, Svein; Myhre, Per Inge; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Pramanik, Ankit; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Torsvik, Tomas; Wiktor, Józef Maria; Wold, Anette; Wulff, Angela; Steen, Harald; Assmy, Philipp (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers impacts the adjacent marine environment. Due to the global warming, tidewater glaciers are retreating and will eventually terminate on land. Yet, the mechanisms through which ...
    • Tidewater glaciers as “climate refugia” for zooplankton-dependent food web in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard 

      Hop, Haakon; Wold, Anette; Vihtakari, Mikko; Assmy, Philipp; Kuklinski, Piotr; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Griffith, Gary; Pavlova, Olga; Duarte, Pedro; Steen, Harald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      With climate warming, many tidewater glaciers are retreating. Fresh, sediment-rich sub-glacial meltwater is discharged at the glacier grounding line, where it mixes with deep marine water resulting in an upwelling of a ...
