When the icebreaker Oden arrived in Longyearbyen on Svalbard on June 14, it also marked the end of this year's Arctic expedition ARTofMELT 2023. In connection with this, H.R.H. the Crown Princess and the Minister for Climate and the Environment, Romina Pourmokhtari, visited Svalbard to meet researchers who participated in the expedition.
Station visits, new staff, pollen monitoring and the start of this year's field season. A lot is happening at the Abisko Scientific Research Station!
We welcome Alisa Heuchel, who started as the new laboratory manager at Abisko Scientific Research Station on May 15th! In September, Alisa Heichel will defend her doctoral thesis in forest genetics, and even though her work at the station will involve different things, she brings experiences from her research studies.
