EORC Featured in Research in Bavaria: Remote Sensing in the Arctic Remote sensing is opening new windows into some of the most remote and rapidly changing environments on Earth. A recent feature by Research in Bavaria highlights how researchers from our EORC and colleagues from UNIS are using cutting-edge Earth observation technologies to study the Arctic and better understand the impacts of climate change.

First results of our Tundra Icing Experiment finally published - just as we finalised the 11th round of icing! ☃️🧊🥳

Sometimes the timing of things that happen can't be beaten. To mark transition and progression, the moveTraits paper was published just before year's end. A movement based trait database. dx.doi.org/10.1111/ele.... @larissabeumer.bsky.social @thomasmueller.bsky.social @animaltracking.bsky.social

Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

They lived through the ice age. Can the mighty musk ox survive the heat? Rising temperatures are pushing these Arctic mammals ever farther into Greenland’s north. But eventually there will be nowhere left for them to go Built like a small bison, weighing as much as a grand piano and covered in thick, shaggy coat, the musk…

They lived through the ice age. Can the mighty musk ox survive the heat?

Can goats predict earthquakes? Can dogs forecast volcanic eruptions? These scientists think so Tracking the behaviour of tagged animals from space could transform the research into a host of natural phenomena

How @animaltracking.bsky.social plans to track animals with Icarus to create the Internet of Animals and be able to study not just how/if they react to geological phenomena, but also monitor disease spread and find out many other cool things from their movement: www.theguardian.com/science/2024...

I think Audun Stien at UiT has!
