  • P-092 Cornice Dynamics Above Nybyen in Svalbards High Arctic
    2010 International Snow Science Workshop P-092 Cornice dynamics above Nybyen in Svalbards high arctic landscape Stephan C. Vogel1 Markus Eckerstorfer1 Hanne Christiansen1, 2 1. Arctic Geology Department, University Centre in Svalbard, Longyearbyen, Norway; 2. Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway The development of cornices, their cracking and consequent failures largely controlled by meteorology along the Gruvefjellet plateau ridge was investigated in the two consecutive snow seasons of 2009 and 2010. These natural processes endanger life and infrastructure in Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s main settlement in the High Arctic. Two automatic time lapse cameras provided up to 6 daily pictures of the entire Gruvefjellet slope from the valley bottom and monitored the cornice development and tension cracking from the ridgeline. Further- more stakes on the plateau were used to record snow depth distribution and cornice growth. 45 field trips up the plateau were carried out to study the processes and to manually measure cornice crack opening rates. Meteorological data were recorded by an automatic weather station situated on the Gruvefjellet plateau source area. Both snow seasons indicated that cornices were built up by a low number of distinct storm events and that cornice scouring due to high wind speeds is rather limited. In 2009 the first cornice cracks were observed in mid April, while in 2010, probably due to persistent warm weather in combination with large amounts of rain, cornice cracks were already developing at the end of January. Cornice crack measurements showed a linear de- velopment, indicating the major influence of gravity. 177 cornice failures have been recorded, whereof 11 were “D3-R3” and “D3-R4” avalanches which nearly reached housing infrastructure.

  • The “Coolest” and Northernmost FAQ Welcome to UNIS We Hope You Will
    The “coolest” and northernmost FAQ Everything you might or might not want to know about your stay at UNIS Made by the UNIS Student Council autumn 2016 Welcome to UNIS We hope you will have a great time here ͺ Before arrival Important: Remember to apply for housing, and sign your contract before arriving, ​ and check the dates. Your room will first be opened in the afternoon the day your contract starts, so if you arrive 3am you should make sure the contract starts the day before arrival. If your contract starts in the weekend your room will be opened at Friday afternoon (Samskipnaden opens your room and leaves the key inside, so you don’t need to worry about not being able to access your room) Rifles: If you want to borrow rifles (you need them when leaving town) during your ​ stay please read the rifle part http://www.unis.no/studies/student-life/new-students/ Q: What do I need to pack? http://www.unis.no/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/PACKING-LIST.pdf - When it comes to equipment and how warm clothing you need it is up to what you plan to do and how easily you freeze - You should bring or buy a pair of thin liner gloves to wear under thicker ​ ​ mittens. During field work you will find that it is very hard to write with the thick scooter mittens, and that is awfully cold to do anything bare handed in -20 degrees celsius - Liner gloves can be very nice to have during the safety course, you will do part of it outside.

  • Status of Echinococcus Multilocularis in Svalbard - Final Report to Svalbard Environmental Protection Fund NORWEGIAN VETERINARY INTSTITUTE
    Rapport 11- 2019 Status of Echinococcus multilocularis in Svalbard - Final Report to Svalbard Environmental protection Fund NORWEGIAN VETERINARY INTSTITUTE Status of Echinococcus multilocularis in Svalbard Preface This is the final report of the project “Status of Echinococcus multilocularis in Svalbard” 16/42. Funding for this project was allocated by the Svalbard Environmental Protection Foundation in the spring of 2016. The project was carried out by a team of researchers from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute and the Norwegian Polar Institute, who for the first time collaborated in this project. The Norwegian Veterinary Institute has contributed with expert knowledge on E. multilocularis, pathology, parasitological and molecular methods, and the Norwegian Polar Institute with specific expertise on Arctic foxes, sibling voles, E. multilocularis and environmental aspects. In addition, we have benefitted from working together with Fredrik Samuelsson, Svalbard guide with an MSc in Parasitology, whose local knowledge has greatly facilitated the sample collection. The results of our project were presented to locals at a seminar at the University Centre in Svalbard 19.11.2018. We gratefully acknowledge the Svalbard Environmental Protection Fund for supporting our project. We would also like to thank Paul Lutnæs/the Govenor of Svalbard, Rupert Krapp from the Norwegian Polar Institute and the Svalbard Vets for assisting in collecting samples for the project; Longyearbyens Hundeklubb, commercial dog sledging companies and private dog owners who kindly let us collect faecal samples from their dogs; arctic fox hunters who donated foxes for our study, and inhabitants in Longyearbyen who helped trapping sibling voles. In this project we have collaborated with Dr.

The settlement of Longyearbyen is small (about 1 x 2 miles or 1.6 x 3.3 km), so we can reach anywhere on foot. There are bicycles for rent at Nybyen (Guesthouse 102), if you so desire. There is more than enough to do in and around town to fill a day. Please do not stray from the roads around town (the surrounding hills); Polar Bears can be found in the area!

I tillegg ble regjeringen i Dokument nr. 8:85 (1994–1995) bedt om å legge opp til en styringsmodell for Longyear- byen som gir befolkningen muligheter til demokratisk innflytelse i lokalsam- funnet i den helhetlige gjennomgangen av svalbardsamfunnet Stortinget har bedt om. I forbindelse med utarbeidelsen av stortingsmeldingen om Svalbard har det vært nedsatt en interdepartemental styringsgruppe bestående av repre- sentanter fra Finansdepartementet, Justisdepartementet, Kirke, utdannings- og forskningsdepartementet, Kommunal- og regionaldepartementet, Miljø- verndepartementet, Nærings- og handelsdepartementet og Utenriksdeparte- mentet. Som ledd i arbeidet med meldingen har det også vært nedsatt to arbeids- grupper, som har utredet spørsmålet om lokaldemokrati nærmere.
