1. 26. The Real Arctic:Truly Wild, Wonderfully Retro : Imaginaries and tourism in Svalbard

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologi

   Author : Frida Mård; [2019]
   Keywords : Imaginaries; tourism; media; Svalbard; Longyearbyen; Barentsburg;

   Abstract : This essay analyses the use of media as an instigator of tourism as it creates perceptions of Svalbard in the minds of prospective and former tourists. It explores what these created imaginations about Svalbard as a destination and experience mean for individuals who have been submitted by a curated image in media, made for the profit of the tourism industry.

3. 27. On the Relationship Between Energetic Electron Precipitation and Mesopause Temperature

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Florine Enengl; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Energetic Particle Precipitation (EPP) can potentially change the neutral atmospheric temperatureat the mesopause region. Cresswell-Moorcock et al. (2013) used European IncoherentScatter Scientific Association (EISCAT) radar data to identify strong electron precipitationevents. READ MORE

4. 28. A Regional Analysis of Changing Climate Conditions and Glacier Mass Balance in Svalbard

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Ottar Bergman; [2019]
   Keywords : glacier mass balance; model data; climate change; Svalbard;

   Abstract : The Arctic archipelago of Svalbard has experienced among the greatest increases in temperature on Earth in the last few decades. The changing climatic conditions have a large impact on the glacier mass balance. This study makes use of a highresolution model dataset with data on climatic and glacier conditions on Svalbard from 1957 to 2018. READ MORE

5. 29. A detailed study of auroral fragments

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi; Uppsala universitet/Institutet för rymdfysik, Uppsalaavdelningen

   Author : Joshua Dreyer; [2019]
   Keywords : aurora; fragments; Svalbard; all-sky camera; MSP; ASK; EISCAT;

   Abstract : Aurora occurs in various shapes, one of which is the hitherto unreported phenomenon of auroral fragments. For three periods of occurrence of these fragments their properties were studied in detail during this master’s thesis, using mainly ground-based instrumentation located near Longyearbyen on Svalbard, Norway.

6. 30. The Ability of Regional Climate Models to Simulate Weather Conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, Svalbard

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

   Author : Malin Andersson; Erica Erikson; [2018]
   Keywords : Regional climate models; automatic weather station; glacier; Svalbard; Regionala klimatmodeller; automatisk väderstation; glaciär; Svalbard;

   Abstract : In this project, we analyse the ability of two regional climate models to simulate meteorological conditions on Nordenskiöldbreen, a glacier in Svalbard. To do so, regional climate model output is compared with in situ measurements from an automatic weather station. READ MORE
