Ny-Ålesund Research Station Newsletter
|
|
|
|
|
While Ny-Ålesund is still in the grip of the Polar night, light is slowly making its way North again, and many of you have already started planning for the 2024 field season. While the need for lab work will differ between projects, it is worth noting that in order to “kick-start” use of the most recent addition to the joint research infrastructure in Ny-Ålesund – the Kings Bay Veksthus – access to, and use of the laboratories in the building will be free of charge in 2024 (click here for details)
|
At the time of preparing this newsletter many of you will have spent interesting (and windy!) days in Tromsø at the Arctic Frontiers conference, and only two months from now the Arctic Science Summit Week kicks off in Edinburgh. The 60th NySMAC meeting will be a key side event for all engaged in Ny-Ålesund Research Station.

As usual this time of year, requests for official visits and media visits are starting to show up in our email inboxes. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who set aside time in a busy schedule to help make these visits successful. Your contributions are invaluable in providing context and in giving the visitors an in-depth understanding of the importance of the research and environmental monitoring in Ny-Ålesund.

We wish you all productive late winter months - whether you are busy writing up material from the 2023 season, or already planning the 2024 season!
