Research at AWIPEV

The research community in Ny-Ålesund enables international collaboration on various topics, supported by the thematic Ny-Ålesund Flagship Programmes on Atmosphere, Glaciology, Terrestrial Ecosystems and the Kongsfjorden System.

At AWIPEV Research Base, both long-term and short-term projects are carried out in the respective fields. The observatories, whose data contribute to various international networks, form a basis for this. All activites have previously gone through an annual AWIPEV project application process. Moreover, they are registered in the Research in Svalbard (RiS) database.
