Sto en eneste av dere noensinne ensom under Herrens øyne i et øde av snø og natt? Stirret dere noen gang opp i polarlandets flammende nordlys og forstod de tause toner som strømmet under stjernene? Hva vet dere om de makter som taler i stormer, som roper i snøløsningens skred og som jubler i fuglefjellenes vårskrik? Ingenting. “ - Fritt etter John Giæver, Ishavets glade borgere (1956) ​ 3 Acknowledgements First of all, I am forever grateful to my main supervisor Marius Jonassen, who with his great insight and supportive comments gave me all the motivation and help I needed along the way towards this master thesis. Big round of applause to all the amazing students and staff at UNIS who I was lucky to meet during my stays in Svalbard, and the people at MetOs in Oslo. The times shared with you inspire me both personally and professionally, and I will always keep the memories! Then I want to thank Grete Stavik-Døvle, Terje Berntsen, Frode Stordal and Karl-Johan Ullavik Bakken for ​ ​ admitting and guiding two lost NTNU students into studies at UiO.

Thus, several previous studies investigated the background nitrogen oxides (NOx) and tropospheric ozone (O3) springtime chemistry in the region. However, there are also local anthropogenic emission sources on the archipelago such as coal power plants, ships and snowmobiles, which may significantly alter in situ atmospheric composition. Measurement results from three independent research projects were combined to identify the effect of emissions from various local sources on the background concentration of NOx and O3 in Svalbard. The hourly meteorological and chemical data from the ground-based stations in Adventdalen, Ny-Ålesund and Barentsburg were analysed along with daily radiosonde soundings and weekly data from O3 sondes.

(2004): Alien vascular plants recorded from Barentsburg and Pyramiden settle- ments, Svalbard. – Preslia, Praha, 76: 279–290. A list of alien plant species recorded from Svalbard in the summer of 1988 is presented. Two locali- ties, the Russian settlements of Barentsburg and Pyramiden on the Isfjorden, Spitsbergen, were studied. Prior to this study, almost 60 alien species were recorded from Svalbard by other investiga- tors. During the research reported here, 44 taxa were found, 14 of which are new records for the Svalbard archipelago. Six species are considered to be possibly naturalized; however, it is difficult to assess their naturalization status because of the severity of the climate in the study area. A com- plete list of species is presented, with information on height and phenological stage of particular specimens. Most of the alien plants recorded at the two settlements belong to the family Brassicaceae.
