Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5255.
The main objective of the project is to establish the causes of the major changes in sulphur isotopes recorded in fossil bones of mammals at the end of the ice age. To achieve this, the research team will test the working hypothesis that major changes in fossil bone collagen sulphur are linked to changing biogeochemic...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246.
The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4727.
The research team will use lake sediment cores to track the history of shoreline permafrost thaw slump activity over the last several thousand years, and associated lake ecological responses to thaw slumping, in order to provide a long-term context for present-day observations.
The team will select three pairs of ...

Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4759.
The overall objective of this research is to assess the permafrost thaw slump erosion and transport of its sediment by rainfall/runoff to depositional zones within Arctic tundra lakes. To achieve this, we will link a rainfall simulator with an annular flume (to simulate lake currents) located in the Hydro-ecology Moni...
