    • Carbon stocks and fluxes in the high latitudes: Using site-level data to evaluate Earth system models 

      Chadburn, Sarah E.; Krinner, Gerhard; Porada, Philipp; Bartsch, Annett; Beer, Christian; Belelli Marchesini, Luca; Boike, Julia; Ekici, Altug; Elberling, Bo; Friborg, Thomas; Hugelius, Gustaf; Johansson, Margareta; Kuhry, Peter; Kutzbach, Lars; Langer, Moritz; Lund, Magnus; Parmentier, Frans-Jan Willem; Peng, Shushi; van Huissteden, Ko; Wang, Tao; Westermann, Sebastian; Zhu, Dan; Burke, Eleanor J. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-17)
      It is important that climate models can accurately simulate the terrestrial carbon cycle in the Arctic due to the large and potentially labile carbon stocks found in permafrost-affected environments, which can lead to a positive climate feedback, along with the possibility of future carbon sinks from northward expansion of vegetation under climate warming. Here we evaluate the simulation of tundra ...

    • Climate in Svalbard 2100 – a knowledge base for climate adaptation 

      Bilt, Willem van der; Bakke, Jostein; Smedsrud, Lars H.; Sund, Monica; Schuler, Thomas; Westermann, Sebastian; Wong, Wai Kwok; Sandven, Stein; Simpson, Matthew James Ross; Skogen, Morten D.; Pavlova, O.; Ravndal, Ole; Risebrobakken, Bjørg; Saloranta, Tuomo; Mezghani, Abdelkader; Nilsen, F.; Nilsen, Jan Even Øie; Nilsen, Irene Brox; Kierulf, Halfdan; Kohler, Jack; Li, H.; Lutz, J; Melvold, Kjetil; Gjelten, Herdis Motrøen; Gundersen, Jeanette; Isaksen, Kjetil; Jaedicke, Christian; Dobler, Andreas; Engeset, Rune; Frauenfelder, Regula; Gerland, Sebastian; Christiansen, Hanne H; Børsheim, Knut Yngve; Breivik, Øyvind; Breili, Kristian; Borstad, Christopher Paul; Bogen, J.; Benestad, Rasmus; Beldring, S.; Andresen, J; Adakudlu, Muralidhar (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2019-02-04)
      This report was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency in order to provide basic information for use in climate change adaptation in Svalbard. It includes descriptions of historical, as well as projections for the future climate development in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere and ocean, and it includes effects on the physical nature e.g. on permafrost and various types of landslides ...

    • Holocene development of subarctic permafrost peatlands in Finnmark, northern Norway 

      Kjellman, Sofia E.; Axelsson, Pia E.; Etzelmüller, Bernd; Westermann, Sebastian; Sannel, A. Britta K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-01)
      Subarctic permafrost peatlands are important soil organic carbon pools, and improved knowledge about peat properties and peatland sensitivity to past climate change is essential when predicting future response to a warmer climate and associated feedback mechanisms. In this study, Holocene peatland development and permafrost dynamics of four subarctic peat plateaus in Finnmark, northern Norway have ...

    • Icelandic permafrost dynamics since the Last Glacial Maximum – model results and geomorphological implications 

      Etzelmüller, Bernd; Patton, Henry; Schomacker, Anders; Czekirda, Justyna; Girod, Luc; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Lilleøren, Karianne Staalesen; Westermann, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-14)
      Iceland’s periglacial realm is one of the most dynamic on the planet, with active geomorphologicalprocesses and high weathering rates of young bedrock resulting in high sediment yields and ongoingmass movement. Permafrost is discontinuous in Iceland’s highlands and mountains over c. 800 m a.s.l,and sporadic in palsa mires in the central highlands. During the late Pleistocene and Holocene, ...

    • Permafrost in monitored unstable rock slopes in Norway-New insights from temperature and surface velocity measurements, geophysical surveying, and ground temperature modelling 

      Etzelmüller, Bernd; Czekirda, Justyna; Magnin, Florence; Duvillard, Pierre-Allain; Ravanel, Ludovic; Malet, Emanuelle; Aspaas, Andreas Grøvan; Kristensen, Lene; Skrede, Ingrid; Majala, Gudrun D.; Jacobs, Benjamin; Leinauer, Johannes; Hauck, Christian; Hilbich, Christin; Böhme, Martina; Hermanns, Reginald; Eriksen, Harald Øverli; Lauknes, Tom Rune; Krautblatter, Michael; Westermann, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-01)
      The warming and subsequent degradation of mountain permafrost within alpine areas represent an important process influencing the stability of steep slopes and rock faces. The unstable and monitored slopes of Mannen (Møre and Romsdal county, southern Norway) and Gámanjunni-3 (Troms and Finnmark county, northern Norway) were classified as high-risk sites by the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU). ...
