SSF in NÅ, Svalbard Science Forum in Ny-Ålesund

Svalbard Science Forum organizes in autumn every year for their board a trip to a research facility on Svalbard. As chair of NySMAC, I am also member of the board and this time we visit Ny-Ålesund.

During the first meeting day, we had a break and we made a boat trip into the fjord, visiting the glacier Blomstrandbreen and the historic place Ny-London.


The next day we started with a visit to the two largest stations: Sverdrup and AWIPEV.

We watched the daily balloon launch by Gregory Tran.....

....and had a presentation in the AWIPEV observatory.


We got a tour in the marine laboratory by Svein Harald Sønderland

In the evening we visited the new geodetic observatory.




Finally, Harald Steen gave a nice presentation on the role of glaciers in the fjord ecosystem.
