Emmelie K. L. Aström defended her PhD last Friday 20th April. The day before, she learned that she has been awarded a prestigious VISTA (The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters) Post-Doctoral position connected to the Nansen Legacy.

Meet her here.

Do you want to explore the creation of a National Scientific Mission, the Nansen Legacy, then join the IARPC webinar on the 24th of April.

The “Siberian cold” that has been entering Europe for the past weeks is in strong contrast to what is experienced in the rest of the Arctic! This winter is the warmest ever recorded.

The Barents Sea is rich in history, resources and opportunities, but also undergoing a major change. We want a dialogue about what these areas in the north mean to us today and in the future. We welcome you to the discussion.

Do you have experience in using statistical modelling approaches? Or in analysis and a good understanding of population and multi-species dynamics, as well as experience with analysis of and a good understanding of marine ecosystem processes? Or how about ecotoxicology? Then look at the following below.

How has it been to shape this dream and vision of this large, interdisciplinary and unique research project? And why should we explore the northen Barents Sea? Marit Reigstad explains it all on NRK radio.

The NOAAs Arctic Report Card brings together the work of scientists from across the world to report on air, ocean, land and ecosystem changes in the far North and might give a heads-up for Santa if he should be exploring real estate opportunities at the South Pole.

The central Arctic is off-limits to commercial activites for the next 16 years, giving scientist the lead for better understanding an Arctic of environments in change.

The difference between the possible and the impossible is that the impossible takes a longer time. Fridtjof Nansen

Being a pioneer and an ambitious researcher not letting any obstacle stand in his way, Nansen’s ambition was to explore the Arctic further north than anyone else. To do that, he would have to deal with a problem that many polar explorers had encountered before him: the freezing ice that could crush a ship.
