Spectral Analysis of the Svalbard Temperature Record 1912–2010 by Ole Humlum, Jan-Erik Solheim, Kjell Stordahl

“…Using only three oscillations it is possible to hindcast the Svalbard temperature record well. We suggest that such persistent oscillations may be used for forecasting the overall features of future temperature changes for a limited period, about 10–25% of the record length. …”

Recent Levels of Technetium-99 in Seawater at the West Coast of Svalbard by Sebastian Gerland, Bjørn Lind, Mark Dowdall, Anne Kathrine Kolstad

“…Seawater from the western coast of Svalbard was sampled in the spring and summer of 2000 to determine levels of technetium-99 (99Tc), a conservative-behaving, manmade radionuclide originating from European nuclear reprocessing plants. …”

Pervasive glacier retreats across Svalbard from 1985 to 2023 by Tian Li, Stefan Hofer, Geir Moholdt, Adam Igneczi, Konrad Heidler, Xiao Xiang Zhu, Jonathan Bamber

“…Using 124919 calving front positions for 149 marine-terminating glaciers in Svalbard from 1985 to 2023, generated with deep learning, we identify pervasive calving front retreats for non-surging glaciers over the past 38 years. …”

A dataset on bathymetry and hydrology of an emerging periglacial lagoon in Svalbard, ArcticMendeley Data by Andrius Šiaulys, Aleksej Šaškov, Greta Kilmonaitė, Dzmitry Lukashanets, Tobia Politi, Aurelija Samuilovienė, Anastasija Zaiko, Sergej Olenin

“…In recent decades, the melting of glaciers has led to a consistent increase in the number of periglacial coastal lagoons that form in the place of receding glaciers in Svalbard, European Arctic. There is limited data on the geomorphology and hydrology of these novel formations, primarily because conducting research in remote polar regions is logistically challenging and expensive.We present hydrological and bathymetric data collected in 2022-2024 in a newly formed lagoon located in the western part of Spitsbergen (Svalbard), between Eidembreen glacier and Eidembukta bay. …”

Short-Period Internal Waves under an Ice Cover in Van Mijen Fjord, Svalbard by E. G. Morozov, S. V. Muzylev, A. S. Shestov, A. V. Marchenko

“…Temperature and velocity fluctuations measured in Van Mijen Fjord in Svalbard and interpreted as the fluctuations induced by internal waves revealed the existence of short-period internal waves with an amplitude of approximately 1 m and a period of approximately 5–10 min that correlate with the ice cover fluctuations of the same period with an amplitude of a few millimeters.…”

Physics-aware machine learning for glacier ice thickness estimation: a case study for Svalbard by V. Steidl, J. L. Bamber, J. L. Bamber, X. X. Zhu, X. X. Zhu

“…In this study, we use deep learning paired with physical knowledge to generate ice thickness estimates for all glaciers of Spitsbergen, Barentsøya, and Edgeøya in Svalbard. We incorporate mass conservation and other physically derived conditions into a neural network to predict plausible ice thicknesses even for glaciers without any in situ ice thickness measurements. …”
