Svalbard Weather Information: Building a Trip-Planning Tool for the Arctic
During my internship at the University Center in Svalbard (UNIS), I had the opportunity to develop the IWIN (Isfjorden Weather Information Network), a project focused on building and maintaining a network of weather stations in the Arctic. Building on this experience, I started to develop in the summer 2024 the Svalbard Weather Information (SWI) platform…

R2D2 – Solar renewable energy development in Svalbard
The R2D2 project, a core part of Arthur Garreau’s PhD research at the Arctic Technology Department, was conducted in collaboration with UNIS. During my internship, I contributed to this initiative, which focuses on adapting solar energy systems to the extreme Arctic environment of Svalbard and addressing renewable energy challenges in high-latitude regions. Context As Longyearbyen…

Real time visualization of the data from an onboard weather station
During my intership with the University Center in Svalbard (UNIS), I got to work on the IWIN project to prepare the automatic weather station (AWS) for their deployment on the different boats together with Lukas Frank and Marius Jonassen. For the season 2024, the UNIS boat Hanna Resvoll has received a weather station and I…

Arctic Ground Penetrating Radar Survey
Picture : Gunnhild Næss In this project, I used Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to investigate subsurface structures at a 2018 landslide site in Longyearbyen, Svalbard. The survey aimed to support predictive models for natural disasters, such as landslides, by mapping sedimentary layers and potential bedrock features. Conducting the study in steep, rocky terrain presented physical…
