In Norway's Arctic, meteorologists have a first-row seat to climate change
- Trond Robertsen, a meteorologist in Norway's Arctic, had an accident in April during carpentry that cut off one finger and part of another.
- Robertsen's long Arctic missions, starting in the 1990s on islands like Bjornoya, exposed him to harsh living conditions and climate changes.
- He manually recorded precipitation daily, describing it as a 24/7 job requiring going outside to check a bucket collecting precipitation.
- Robertsen observed noticeable changes in the environment over the years, mentioning a decline in sea ice and a reduced number of polar bears, and remembered a significant snowstorm that occurred just after a helicopter evacuation.
- Robertsen does not regret his time in isolation and austere conditions, seeing the Arctic experiences and injuries as a small price for valuable memories and insights.

In Norway’s Arctic, meteorologists have a first-row seat to climate change
In the cold of the Norwegian Arctic, meteorologist Trond Robertsen manually recorded precipitation levels for over two decades, witnessing firsthand the effects of climate change. At 66, Robertsen retired after enduring spartan conditions during missions that totalled eight years on two islands of the Svalbard archipelago: Bjornoya (Bear Island) and Hogen. To reach the remote

Utilizing Space and Underwater Curtain Mirrors: Will Technology Save the Arctic Ice Caps in Time?
wGlacier researcher John Moore began exploring the Arctic Circle in the 1980s. The continuous warming of this area has led to the disappearance of many glaciers, as noted in The Arctic heats 4 times faster. They have simply melted away, outpacing global averages. Four decades later, Moore’s research network identified an Arctic university. 61 Potential [...] The post Utilizing Space and Underwater Curtain Mirrors: Will Technology Save the Arctic…
