TERRA - Understanding climate, herbivore and belowground feedbacks

Vegetation and active layer depth

In this project, we aim to understand how warming and moss removal will affect soil temperature and permafrost in the High Arctic.

Long-term effects of climate warming on vegetation in Svalbard

In this project, we aim to study effects of warming and exclusion of herbivores on plant communities in the High Arctic after up to 20 years of experimental treatment.

INITIAL - Going BIG: a spatial grid as basis for the Bjørndalen field laboratory

In this project, we have started a long-term monitoring grid on plant communities in the High Arctic.

GLAD - Glacial microbiomes - in light and darkness

In this project, we have established a site on Foxfonna glacier where cryoconite is sampled in winter and summer.

Use certification to assess practical skills in lab and field

On this page we provide information on how to create certification protocols for a set of lab and field skills commonly used in terrestrial ecology.

Preparation through instructional videos

FieldPass has produce several videos for different course leaders in order to help students prepare for field and lab activities.

Bjørndalen Integrated Gradients (BIG)

Bjørndalen Integrated Gradient (BIG) is a field-laboratory that enables close integration of research and course activities, and a great arena for students to participate and contribute to research projects.
