Several tephra layers from the last millennium have been identified in distal peat and lake
sediment sequences in northern Europe, forming a framework of volcanic events of great …

Arctic observations show large decreases in the concentrations of sulfate and black carbon
(BC) aerosols since the early 1980s. These near‐term climate‐forcing pollutants perturb the …

Over the last 300 years, countless climatic variations at different places and times have been
witnessed, some affecting millions of people and changing the course of history, some going …

Results of the deep drilling (> 80–100m) of Eurasian Arctic glaciers (Svalbard, Severnaya
Zemlya, and Franz Josef Land) from the middle of the 1970s to the end of the 1990s have …

We determine the physicochemical habitat for microorganisms in subsurface terrestrial ice
by quantitatively constraining the partitioning of bacteria and fluorescent beads (1–10 μm) …

Ice cores from the relatively low-lying ice caps in Svalbard have not been widely exploited in
climatic and environmental studies due to uncertainties about the effect of melt water …

Produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuel and biomass, black carbon (BC)
contributes to Arctic warming by reducing snow albedo and thus triggering a snow-albedo …

Two isotopic ice core records from western Svalbard are calibrated to reconstruct more than
1000 years of past winter surface air temperature variations in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, and …

We examine the quality of atmospherically deposited ion and isotope signals in an ice core
taken from a periodically melting ice field, Lomonosovfonna in central Spitsbergen …

Winter snow from four glacial sites on Svalbard was analyzed for atmospheric deposition of
36 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 7 industrial compounds (OCICs) by GC–high …
