The Arctic Ocean is rapidly changing. This creates losers and winners, explain Nansen Legacy scientist Geir Wing Gabrielsen in a new article.

The Nansen Legacy project was presented on two events in Washington DC, as an initiative to open for potential collaboration across the Arctic Ocean.

The Nansen Legacy is not operating alone in the Arctic. Strengthening collaboration with other Arctic research projects is therefore of great importance to the Nansen Legacy.

Nansen Legacy scientists were strongly represented at the 18th Russian-Norwegian Symposium in Murmansk 5-7 June 2018. The topic of the symposium was highly relevant for the Nansen Legacy project, by addressing the influence of ecosystem changes on harvestable resources in high latitudes.

In a new British documentary, Nansen Legacy scientists Katrine Husum and Geir Wing Gabrielsen from the Norwegian Polar Institute are sharing their impressions of the vast changes in the Arctic ecosystem with Lewis Pugh, who swam one kilometer in sub-zero Arctic waters to draw the World’s attention to the fast loss of Arctic sea ice and ice-connected life.

In the eye height of children and the spirit of the Arctic water scapes, the Nansen Legacy contributed to the CO2 days at the Northern Norwegian Science Center.

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.

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.
