6. Optimal foraging in an Arctic herbivore : How does the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) respond to seasonal changes from summer through autumn of the Arctic tundra?
Master-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapSammanfattning : Foraging decisions of large herbivores can be affected by many factors and have great effect on both above- and below-ground ecosystems. Here, I determine to which degree temporal (seasonality), or spatial (habitat) factors influence the foraging behaviour of Svalbard reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus) and asses if small-scale foraging behaviour correlates with an animals’ patch residence time.

7. Sporadic-E layers in the polar cap ionosphere : A review on Es occurrence, dynamics and formation theory
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : Sporadic-E layers (Es) are layers of metallic ions that appear in the lower E-region of the ionosphere and can last from under one hour to several hours. Es are found at all latitudes, but polar cap Es, and specifically over Svalbard at a latitude of around 78◦ , are the focus of this study. LÄS MER
8. Use of Management Accounting Under a Grant Administrated Project
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : Background – Covid-19 pandemic has triggered responses for financial supports, governmental actions, and subsidies directed to specific industries in several countries inferring administration of projects under non-routine situations, including actors of various organisational structures. The aim of this thesis was to learn more about the use of management accounting under a new, non-usual situation from two interlinked levels, namely the societal and firm under a public grant administrated project context.

9. Safeguarding a Safeguard: Assessing the Status of Global Ex-Situ Crop Conservation and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s Role in its Protection
Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionenSammanfattning : The Svalbard Seed Vault serves as a backup against accidental loss of genetic crop diversity within the existing global conservation system. Addressing this objective, this thesis repeats the 2013 assessment of the Seed Vault’s completeness relative to the global conservation system as performed by Westengen et al (2013, 1). LÄS MER
10. A Statistical Overview of the Spatial Atmospheric Variability Over Isfjorden, Svalbard
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraSammanfattning : The atmospheric spatial variability over Isfjorden, Svalbard, was investigated through statistical data analysis. The data used in the thesis was measured by mobile weather stations installed on three ships crossing the fjord, and two stationary weather stations close to the shoreline, during the autumn of 2021 and spring to autumn 2022.
