Future sea level rise is influenced by the melting of the Antarctic ice sheet, but there is particularly great uncertainty associated with the melting of the ice shelf, the ocean&#8217;s influence on it, and the ice shelf&#8217;s response. We need to find answers to how stable the current cold regime in the area is, and what the potential drivers of change are.<\/p>\n<p>Fimbul is the largest ice shelf in Queen Maud Land. During the International Polar Year in 2009, NP and partners drilled and established sites for measurements of mass balance and ocean properties on and below the ice shelf.

The mass balance primarily depends on precipitation in the winter and temperature in the summer, but calving and marine melting are also important for some glaciers which terminate in the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Mass balance is measured in the field for only a few glaciers in Svalbard, which are located almost exclusively along the west coast of Spitsbergen. The Norwegian Polar Institute is currently measuring the mass balance of four glaciers in the Kongsfjord area: Austre Br\u00f8ggerbreen (since 1967), Midtre Lov\u00e9nbreen (since 1968), Kongsvegen (since 1987) and Kronebreen\/Holtedahlfonna (since 2003).<\/p>\n<h2>Austfonna<\/h2>\n<p>The Norwegian Polar Institute and the University of Oslo are cooperating concerning the taking of mass balance measurements on Etonbreen, an arm of Austfonna.

Extensive, gently sloping formations and relatively easy access make Austfonna ideal for the calibration and validation of satellite data and climate models with relevance to the larger ice masses of Greenland and Antarctica. As part of the CryoVEX programme of the European Space Agency (ESA), regular programmes have been carried out using coordinated aerial and ground-based readings for comparison with satellite data.

The radiative effects of clouds and aerosols are two of the largest uncertainties in global climate models.<\/p>\n<p>By establishing a completely new integrated cloud observatory at Troll, NP, together with international partners, will contribute to a better understanding of these processes. The instrumentation consists of a number of passive and active remote sensing instruments to measure temperature and humidity profiles and cloud and aerosol properties, and includes instrumentation for in-situ validation of the remote sensing instruments and a radiosonde system for daily balloon releases.

It will make new circumpolar and Atlantic observations in observational gaps. It will assimilate these and existing data into improved ice sheet boundary conditions and forcing, producing new estimates of ice sheet melt and impacts on ocean circulation, including the Atlantic Meridional Overturning circulation. It will develop, calibrate and assess models used to predict the future evolution of the giant ice sheets. It will reduce the deep uncertainty in the impact of their melt on societally relevant environmental changes on decadal to multi-centennial time scales.

A large part of this atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by phytoplankton and sea-ice algae which are limited by the availability of iron, a bio-essential element. Iron and other nutrients are highly concentrated within the cryosphere. The release of these elements and changes in the ocean dynamics linked to the melting cryosphere will have large consequences on marine ecosystems, their biodiversity and productivity. These consequences are not yet understood and research to improve our understanding is critical to predicting future changes.<\/p>\n<p>This project aims to understand and quantify the impact of the melting cryosphere on the marine ecosystem of the Kong H\u00e5kon VII Sea, in the Southern Ocean. Towards this goal, I-CRYME combines field, laboratory and modelling activities that will generate novel datasets. The project utilizes the Research Vessel Kronprins Haakon, the Supply Vessel Silver Arctica that is commissioned annually by NPI to carry out research in the Southern Ocean; innovative technologies such as the TRIAXUS towed vehicle and long-term monitoring by deep-sea moorings in the area. The research activities will allow us to quantify the physical and biogeochemical properties during a time of rapid environmental change and to measure the response of the microbial community to the biogeochemical enrichment caused by the melting cryosphere. The project outcomes will shift our understanding of key processes in the Southern Ocean and improve our predictions of the future of its physical dynamics, its ecosystems and elemental cycles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prosjektbanken.forskningsradet.no\/en\/project\/FORISS\/335512\">I-CRYME<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-y726xyg-bd42abb1304c4acbcfa78db853263fe3'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-16' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-16' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-16' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"WOBEC\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: WOBEC\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: WOBEC\">WOBEC<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-16' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-16' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wobec.aq\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wobec.aq\/typo3temp\/assets\/_processed_\/c\/2\/csm_WOBEC_logo_small_new_biodiv_c58d2d5d62.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"180\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weddell Sea Observatory of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Change (WOBEC)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With the Biodiversa+ project <b><i>Weddell Sea Observatory of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Change (WOBEC)<\/i><\/b>, we aim to create the DNA of a distributed long-term ecosystem observatory in the Eastern Weddell Sea \/ King Haakon VII Sea in the Southern Ocean.

The knowledge provides the basis for advice to authorities for use in national ocean management and internationally (working groups in the Arctic Council, IPCC, etc.), and is disseminated in scientific forums and to the general public.<\/p>\n<p>The geographically most important areas for the Arctic Ocean Programme are the northern ocean areas where Norway has a special responsibility for management; the northern Barents Sea, the Fram Strait and the Nansen Basin, and the interaction between the ocean and the coastal areas of Svalbard.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-swjwd6w-ea9c0fbf38f5d05ded33fcb28ef2c9ea\">\n#top .flex_column.av-swjwd6w-ea9c0fbf38f5d05ded33fcb28ef2c9ea{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n.flex_column.av-swjwd6w-ea9c0fbf38f5d05ded33fcb28ef2c9ea{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_column.av-swjwd6w-ea9c0fbf38f5d05ded33fcb28ef2c9ea{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-swjwd6w-ea9c0fbf38f5d05ded33fcb28ef2c9ea av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_textblock  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-2tmnsvc-8a0a4163bb4358e7c4fc3302bca75cd0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role='complementary' class='avia_textblock NP-factsheet-enfold no '  style=' '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class='title'>Contact<\/p><div class='hsep-relevantlinks' ><\/div><div class='NP-factsheet-content'><p>Programme leader: <a href=\"mailto:arild.sundfjord@npolar.no\">Arild Sundfjord<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Outreach contact: <a href=\"mailto:stig.mathisen@npolar.no\">Stig Mathisen<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div tabindex='0' role='button' class=' NP-factToggle' style='text-align:center;'><i class='fas fa-angle-down fa-2x'><\/i><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-m99rrr1d-12b2a9248c5be69efef3ecfb023af5ca '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><div id=\"attachment_48019\" style=\"width: 1510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48019\" class=\"wp-image-48019 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop.jpg\" alt=\"Aearial photo of ship by snow covered coastal line\" width=\"1500\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop-300x126.jpg 300w, https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop-1030x433.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop-768x323.jpg 768w, https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/NP073285-crop-705x296.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-48019\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The research vessel Kronprins Haakon in the Arctic Ocean.

The AMOC is a key component of the climate system, responsible for ocean heat and freshwater transport, associated with the ventilation of anthropogenic carbon, and anticipated to experience or drive climate tipping points. However, the link between ocean transport, ventilation and tipping points relies on the common conceptual view of the AMOC as a \u2018great ocean conveyor\u2019 which was developed to explain very long timescale (glacial-interglacial) fluctuations in climate. The conveyor belt schematic conflates millennial timescales with human timescales (days to 100 years), leading to misconceptions by the observing and modelling communities, and misplaced expectations about the AMOC\u2019s role in climate.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epoc-eu.org\/\">Epoc<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-jia8g3s-4b5d1c63d47eb3e8679bbbfe471dcd23'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-evocal' data-fake-id='#evocal' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='evocal' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"EvoCal\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: EvoCal\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: EvoCal\">EvoCal<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='evocal' aria-labelledby='toggle-evocal' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"ProjectHeader_title__dttJO\"><strong>Arctic Marine Evolution: using local adaptation to infer future evolutionary responses of Calanus copepods to a changing environment (EvoCal)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The EvoCal project investigates whether two key copepod species, <em>Calanus finmarchicus<\/em> and <em>Calanus glacialis<\/em>, can adapt to future climate change through acclimatization or genetic adaptation.

Reductions of ice thickness, distribution and extent have substantially impacted sea ice habitats and the microorganisms living within them. Algae are important members of sea ice microbial communities; their spring bloom kick-starts annual primary production that contributes to trophic function and carbon cycling in the marine ecosystem. However, current estimates and modeled projections of sea ice algal productivity are compromised by incomplete characterization of two key processes, i) turbulence-driven nutrient supply and, ii) algal respiratory costs of living in a harsh ice environment. Furthermore, inherent methodological constraints of studying sea ice has meant an underrepresentation of in situ measurements that are unbiased by experimental artifacts and thus invaluable for our understanding sea ice habitats. The BREATHE project will combine in situ, experimental and model-based approaches to address knowledge gaps on turbulent nutrient supply and ice algal respiration, with results that improve the accuracy of current and projected ice algal production estimates. Towards this purpose the project will develop and apply state-of-the-art O2 methods for the study of sea ice biogeochemistry. It will complete fieldwork in contrasting regions of the Arctic to characterize productivity and turbulence-driven nutrient regimes of different sea ice habitats, which will inform innovative experiments that provide the first empirical description of ice algal respiration and its variability. Integrated modeling will provide the unique opportunity to implement and directly test parameterizations of respiratory and nutrient processes, before they are applied for prediction. Project outcomes will represent a paradigm shift in our understanding of sea ice primary production, with implications for the management of ecosystem services it supports like, greenhouse gas regulation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/prosjektbanken.forskningsradet.no\/project\/FORISS\/325405\">BREATHE<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section

This data is used to calculate the winter balance (accumulation) and summer balance (melting), which are then added together to produce the net balance, the annual state of health of the glacier between two consecutive autumn measurements. The mass balance primarily depends on precipitation in the winter and temperature in the summer, but calving and marine melting are also important for some glaciers which terminate in the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Mass balance is measured in the field for only a few glaciers in Svalbard, which are located almost exclusively along the west coast of Spitsbergen. The Norwegian Polar Institute is currently measuring the mass balance of four glaciers in the Kongsfjord area: Austre Br\u00f8ggerbreen (since 1967), Midtre Lov\u00e9nbreen (since 1968), Kongsvegen (since 1987) and Kronebreen\/Holtedahlfonna (since 2003).<\/p>\n<h2>Austfonna<\/h2>\n<p>The Norwegian Polar Institute and the University of Oslo are cooperating concerning the taking of mass balance measurements on Etonbreen, an arm of Austfonna. Austfonna is the largest ice cap in Svalbard and has been monitored using a weather station and annual mass balance measurements since 2004. Extensive, gently sloping formations and relatively easy access make Austfonna ideal for the calibration and validation of satellite data and climate models with relevance to the larger ice masses of Greenland and Antarctica. As part of the CryoVEX programme of the European Space Agency (ESA), regular programmes have been carried out using coordinated aerial and ground-based readings for comparison with satellite data. The mass balances from Etonbreen on Austfonna form part of the climate monitoring being carried out under <acronym title=\"Milj\u00f8overv\u00e5kning Svalbard og Jan Mayen\">MOSJ<\/acronym> with annual updates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mosj.no\/en\/indikator\/climate\/land\/mass-balance-for-glaciers-in-svalbard\/\">Read more about measuring the mass balance of glaciers in Svalbard<\/a> (MOSJ)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-a2cm6eg-3ba3987bf6c79855a8c2e856bb328666'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-toggle-id-23' data-fake-id='#toggle-id-23' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-23' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"Atmospheric radiation (Troll og Zeppelin)\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: Atmospheric radiation (Troll og Zeppelin)\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: Atmospheric radiation (Troll og Zeppelin)\">Atmospheric radiation (Troll og Zeppelin)<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-23' aria-labelledby='toggle-toggle-id-23' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Atmospheric radiation is continuously measured at the Zeppelin Observatory in Ny-\u00c5lesund and at the Troll Research Station in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica.

One instrument measures all incoming sunlight from all directions, while another measures infrared light radiated by the atmosphere. Using these measurements, we are able to monitor an important part of the climate system \u2013 the energy that is available to heat the surface of the Earth.

climate change in low-Arctic tundra areas in Finnmark and in high-Arctic areas in Svalbard.<\/p>\n<p>In Svalbard, warming is occurring four times faster than elsewhere on the planet, and the first and most extensive natural changes are being felt here. Through five biological modules and a climate network, climate-sensitive species and functional groups are monitored via annual registrations of the entire food chain, as well as continuous real-time monitoring of weather and climate in both coastal and inland areas. Field registrations and automated technology, such as listening boxes and game cameras, drones, satellite data and transmitters on animals, contribute to developing cause-and-effect models that predict climate effects on the tundra food web.<\/p>\n<p>Through COAT-Svalbard&#8217;s work, a solid scientific basis is created that is used for analyses and predictions. This knowledge makes it possible to provide management advice that helps us meet the climate crisis and its consequences for nature in the Arctic. Monitoring has already documented that Svalbard is rapidly moving out of previous climate zones. At the same time, the populations of barnacle goose, short-billed goose, Svalbard ptarmigan and Svalbard reindeer have increased, while the arctic fox population is stable. Changes in vegetation have also been recorded as a result of ice cover on the tundra in winter and grazing pressure from short-billed geese. The results from COAT-Svalbard provide Norway and the international community with valuable data on the consequences of climate change for the tundra ecosystem in Svalbard.<\/p>\n<p>COAT-Svalbard is led by the Norwegian Polar Institute, but collaborates closely with UiT (University of Troms\u00f8), MET (Meteorological Institute), NINA (Norwegian Institute for Nature Research) and UNIS (University Centre in Svalbard). The program builds on and expands the terrestrial monitoring in MOSJ (Environmental Monitoring for Svalbard and Jan Mayen) and is a large part of the land module in SIOS (Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coat.no\/\">COAT<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-61whyjs-9a7ae8abcb61cbdce63837f369247efd'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p id='toggle-seapop' data-fake-id='#seapop' class='toggler  av-title-above '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='seapop' data-slide-speed=\"200\" data-title=\"SEAPOP\" data-title-open=\"\" data-aria_collapsed=\"Click to expand: SEAPOP\" data-aria_expanded=\"Click to collapse: SEAPOP\">SEAPOP<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='seapop' aria-labelledby='toggle-seapop' role='region' class='toggle_wrap  av-title-above'  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seapop.no\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16752 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/npolar.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/seapop-logo.png\" alt=\"logo to fugler rygg mot rygg\" width=\"217\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><\/strong>SEAPOP (<em>SEAbird POPulations<\/em>) is a seabird monitoring programme which began back in 2005.

Degradation of both of these physical features of Arctic marine systems are happening more rapidly in the northern Barents Sea than elsewhere in the circumpolar Arctic making the Norwegian High Arctic is a bellwether of climate change for the entire region. The shrinking of sympagic habitats and concomitant Atlantification of Arctic food webs, will undoubtedly have profound implications for marine ecosystems in the High North; the expected implications for endemic Arctic marine mammal species have been described as \u201ctransformative\u201d. The ARK research programme will use a variety of \u201ccaptured\u201d and extended data time series (abundance, ecology, diet, contaminant levels, disease\/health, trophic interactions etc) to quantitatively test four principle hypotheses regarding how marine mammals (especially resident endemic Arctic seals but also other species) are being impacted by global warming: 1) H1 &#8211; Declining ice habitats will induce abundance declines in ice-dependent species and result in redistributions, and over longer time frames extirpations; 2) H1 &#8211; Arctic endemic species will face increasing competition from temperate species that are expanding their ranges; 3) H1 &#8211; the health of Arctic endemic species will be negatively impacted by increasing exposure to diseases and increased impacts of contaminants and 4) H1 &#8211; Atlantification of food webs will affect Arctic marine mammals negatively, creating risks of cascading impacts through Arctic ecosystems.
