Geomorphology and surficial geology of the Femmilsjøen area, northern Spitsbergen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-09)Climate change is amplified in the Arctic, and establishing baseline data for its current character is important. Here we present a map of the geomorphology of the Femmilsjøen area, Spitsbergen, northern Svalbard. The regional physiography is characterised by a low-relief, high elevation mountain plateau, its high-relief steep slopes, and low-relief coastal lowlands. The results indicate that glaciers ... -

Silencing and stimulating the medial amygdala impairs ejaculation but not sexual incentive motivation in male rats
