Feeding Polar cod
Our PhD student Max tells about what our Polar cod eat and how they live in the aquariums, and how this translates to the Arctic ecosystem
Fish experiments by PhD student Max Willems featured in UK climate documentary
This summer, UK broadcaster ITV visited Ny-Ålesund to film a documentary about the warming Arctic climate. The documentary features the fish experiment of our PhD student Max Willems.
Introduction to Polar cod experiments by Max
During her year on Svalbard, our PhD student Max Willems did swimming experiments with Polar cod to find out how they are affected by temperature changes.
Studying the rise of meroplanctonic larvae during phytoplankton bloom
In the Arctic, the return of the sun not only marks the end of the long polar night, but also the start of phytoplankton bloom.
Sampling phytoplankton bloom
In the Arctic, the return of the sun not only marks the end of the long polar night, but also the start of phytoplankton bloom.
UK-based climate science initiative interviews our PhD student Max Willems
Max talks about her research, her daily life on the archipelago, and how being on Svalbard changed her perspective on life.
Simulating phytoplankton impact on a bloom with mesocosms
To investigate the influence of warmer temperatures on overwintering mode in surface sediments, we are conducting experiments in the lab and fjord. We overwintered sediments at different temperatures and are now waking them up under different conditions.
Seasonal changes of our algae sampling site
Take a look at the seasonal changes of the coastal sampling site where our PhD student Milan collects algae for his experiments.
Phytoplankton experiments by our PhD student Sneha
As part of her PhD, Sneha studies how seasonal changes and temperature affect phytoplankton.
The implications of pancake ice in Svalbard
In Ny-Ålesund, complete fjord freeze-overs have become a rare sight. We asked our scientists what it means for the organisms they study.
