More than forty years after the original 1983 expedition, the Arctic Research Group returned to Svalbard to repeat flora and fauna surveys across Sassendalen and Gipsdalen.
By documenting the plants and wildlife found today and comparing them with historical records, we can begin to understand how Arctic ecosystems are responding to a changing climate. Every species recorded, no matter how small, adds another piece to the long-term picture of environmental change.
This delicate Arctic bloom is a reminder that some of the most important indicators of climate change are found in nature’s smallest details.
