• Spitsbergen 2023

    Spitsbergen. We had two main goals: Firstly, we maintained the Bayelva permafrost observatory where multiple air, snow, soil, and permafrost parameters have been measured since 1998. And secondly, we measured [...] elevations using a high-accuracy GPS antenna to estimate surface subsidence resulting from thawing permafrost. In addition, we visited research sites of local and international partners and discussed scientific
