In a study conducted in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, researchers from SEAPOP have used a nearly 40 year-long data series to assess how changes in sea ice affect the breeding distribution of common eiders (Somateria mollissima).

Researchers have uncovered a vast ecosystem on an Antarctica ice cap. The communities, largely made up of photosynthetic algae, are likely to host new species to science, and have been shown to add to melting of the ice caps in the region.
