For a significant impact on Arctic amplification, these regions need to become ice-free at least six weeks earlier to substantially warm over the summer47. Since the Arctic has already transitioned into a state of predominantly first-year ice48 we hypothesize that this timing sensitivity is most ...
The Gaussian-Centroid correction has been already applied to this data release [57,58]. We use glacier outlines from the 6th release of the Randolph Glacier Inventory [23] to isolate elevation measurements over the NZEM (For more details, see Appendix A). Following Moholdt et al. [11] ...
The original protocol was modified with an additional washing step in order to remove residual mercury chloride, which could have inhibited PCR amplification. This step used “SPW wash buffer” and was only needed for sediment trap samples (as water-column samples did not use mercury chloride). ...
Subsequent amplification of the cDNA was done using a two-step nested PCR approach with primers (519F and 806R) targeting both the archaeal and the bacterial 16S rRNA gene V4 hypervariable regions. Libraries were sequenced at the Norwegian Sequencing Centre (Oslo, Norway) using their MiSeq ...
This phenomenon is called Arctic Amplification [1,2] and may have implications also for the mid-latitudes [3]. Especially, the Svalbard-Barents Sea region currently faces a pronounced winter warming of almost three degrees per decade, part of which seems to be caused by more efficient advection...

Due to climate change and Arctic amplification, many places in the Arctic are available for more visitors to sail through due to a reduction in sea ice cover. This has led to ecological concerns not only for cruise ship tourism but also for trade and shipping routes [13,14]. The current ...
