Some of the most important research on the island was led by Gunnar Isachsen. The Norwegian army officer and polar scientist collected valuable topographic and bathymetric data and became the founder of his country's systematic research on Spitsbergen. In 1912, Fritjof Nansen - the popular arctic explorer and scientist - and his assistant Bjørn Helland-Hansen published a summary of the oceanographic observations made by Isachsen on his last journey to the island in 1910.

Download or read book Transformation of the natural environment in Western S rkapp Land Spitsbergen since the 1980s written by Wiesław Ziaja and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised edition describes the transformation of the environment and landscape of Western Sørkapp Land based on research data collected by Jagiellonian University scientific expeditions in the period 1980–1986 and in 2008. It also outlines potential directions of the transformation of Western Sørkapp Land.Western Sørkapp Land has been experiencing dramatic natural changes such as glacial recession, coastline retreat, emergence of new landforms and Quaternary deposits, as well as changes in the water drainage and network due to global warming. Western Sørkapp Land is a very remote and diverse region, which is representative of the European Arctic. The establishment of South Spitsbergen National Park has led to a regeneration of the local reindeer herd, which has caused overgrazing of the local tundra resulting in altered plant communities and soil erosion. They have also destroyed numerous bird nests. The transformation of Western Sørkapp Land is set to continue.
Download or read book The Svalbard Archipelago written by P.J. Capelotti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norway's Spitsbergen Archipelago, known as Svalbard to the Norwegians, is of increasing interest to Arctic scholars and geographers, as well as to military historians and analysts of strategy. It was the farthest northern battleground between German and Allied forces in World War II; it became a political arena for Soviet and U.S. competition during the Cold War; it is now a field of conflict for fishing rights and cultural resource protection; and it serves as a laboratory for the study of global warming. This unique island group occupies a fascinating place in European, Russian, and American affairs. Here, for the first time, is the complete report compiled by U.S. Intelligence at the beginning of World War II evaluating the islands both geographically and militarily, as well as a report on the archipelago produced by the CIA in 1950. This comprehensive report--never superseded in the years since--has been edited and introduced by P.J. Capelotti. It provides in great detail the American perspective on these islands and their strategic, economic, and geologic value. Maps and illustrations are included, some from the original report, some new. A glossary covers Arctic terms.
