Svalbard’s cultural heritage and infrastructure face increasing risks as climate change accelerates permafrost thaw and ground instability. The PermaRICH project unites experts across disciplines to evaluate these risks, and guide stakeholders...

Concrete has never had to meet such high standards. Deviations cannot exceed millimetre level. Even the curvature of the Earth must be taken into account in building the world’s most advanced laboratories.

Using self-developed drones and advanced sensors, researchers can now see both under the snow and into the ground. The scientists’ goal is to reduce societal risk and environmental encroachment.

With increased pressure on the Arctic, a secure water supply is becoming a critical part of emergency preparedness in Svalbard. Now researchers are investigating how Longyearbyen’s only source of drinking water can be better secured.

Scientists are working to understand how magnetic currents from the sun spread beneath the Earth’s crust when the northern lights dance across the sky. Their goal is to tame its “dark twin” and prevent damage to our power grid.

Regulation and climate targets are creating urgent demand for bioenergy, but the technology, value chains and system integration needed to meet that demand still require answers that only research can provide.
