#TarfalaResearchStation @stockholm-uni.bsky.social is now open for the season an operations are up and running, starting with maintenance of our Automated Weather Stations on #Storglaciären and the wider #Tarfala area. Very little snow on Storglaciären right now, we hope for some more to come.
Today, we would like to highlight a photo essay from the recently-published eighth issue of 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴.
In 2020, visual and #environmental #anthropologist Flora Mary Bartlett travelled to the #Tarfala Research Station in northern Sweden to explore how scientists engage with #glacial landscapes.

New article about Arctic fennoscandian lakes, lead by our colleagues from @helsinki.fi and with @bolincentre.bsky.social from the previous #ArcticAvenue collaboration. Picture is from our archives and shows Lake #Tarfala, to which the lakes in the article are compared. Enjoy reading (open access)

Perks with becoming prefect/head of the department in Physical Geography is to visit our field station Tarfala just below the highest mountain in Sweden
