Warming in Norwegian Fjord Causing Changes in Seabird Populations
A recent study examines how shifts in water temperature and coastline glaciers create challenges and opportunities for seabirds in Norway’s Hornsund fjord.

Melting Glacier Floods Arctic Coal Mine, Highlighting Climate Change Paradox
Coal mining in Svalbard has long been criticized for the contradictions of allowing the fossil fuel industry to operate in a place where climate changes are felt more harshly than anywhere else on Earth.
