Studying the Arctic spring requires a suit of different approaches and methods, as Nansen Legacy’s collaborating project Arctic PRIZE is showing in this video.

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.

Trying to understand and model the ecosystem development or future climate without understanding the basic physical controls can be compared to driving a car without knowing how the steering, throttle, and brakes function; even if you had a good overview of the road ahead you wouldn’t know at what speed and in what direction your car would move.

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.

Continuing the Legacy of the first explorers The first explorers to visit the Barents Sea arrived more than 500 years ago, and discovered abundant wildlife and rich fishing on the

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

Wrapped in ice and snow, plunged into total darkness, blizzard winds, and cold winters, the Barents Sea is on of the most inaccessible and yet beautiful environments.

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