Genetic Differentiation in <i>Mytilus</i> Populations Across Climatic Zones in Greenland Open
Aim One of the major consequences of climate change in the rapidly warming Arctic regions is the decrease in sea‐ice extent. This is accompanied by changes in marine chemistry and nutrient dynamics, which in turn drive significant shifts i…

Environmental monitoring at the former Lead/Zink Mine Maarmorilik, North West Greenland, In 2022:Metal concentrations in blue mussels (Mytilus spp.) in relation to pollution trends and dietary limits. Open
In 2022, environmental monitoring was carried out at the former lead/zinc mine Maarmorilik, Northwest Greenland, which was active during 1973-1990. Samples of sediment and blue mussels were collected and analyzed. The study shows there sti…

Comparison of sampling methods of blue mussels for environmental monitoring at Greenland mine sites Open
Environmental monitoring of Greenland mining projects is essential to identify and quantify the environmental impact of the projects and at the same time provides the basis for mitigation initiatives.

Element concentrations, histology and serum biochemistry of arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) and shorthorn sculpins (Myoxocephalus scorpius) in northwest Greenland Open
The increasing exploratory efforts in the Greenland mineral industry, and in particular, the proposed rare earth element (REE) mining projects, requires an urgent need to generate data on baseline REE concentrations and their potential env…

Microlitter in arctic marine benthic food chains and potential effects on sediment dwelling fauna Open
This report provides both field and impact data on microlitter pollution in the arctic marine environment of Svalbard and Greenland. Microlitter concentrations and characteristics were determined in marine sediments and biota in relation t…

Trans-Atlantic Distribution and Introgression as Inferred from Single Nucleotide Polymorphism: Mussels Mytilus and Environmental Factors Open
Large-scale climate changes influence the geographic distribution of biodiversity. Many taxa have been reported to extend or reduce their geographic range, move poleward or displace other species. However, for closely related species that …

Anthropogenic microlitter in wastewater and marine samples from Ny-Ålesund, Barentsburg and Signehamna, Svalbard Open
Antropogenic microparticles (AMPs; (0.01≤5 mm) composed of, e.g. plastic, paint, rubber or textile fibers) were analyzed in wastewater from the newly installed (2015) treatment plant in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard and in seawater and sediments fr…
