Got to see this beautiful replica od De Witte Swaen, the expedition ship on which Willem Barentsz sailed to Bear Island, Svalbard and Nova Zembla in 1596. #history #sail2025 #polarexploration
Leerzaam is het wel, zo'n oude auto..

Some new lino's + aquarel. Turns out aligning coloured layers of lino is not my strong suit, and the subtle colours of aquarel paint made more sense anyway....

Always a fun little challenge in High Arctic spring; finding the first flowers of Saxifraga oppositifolia. These ones were in Endalen, #svalbard.

That's wonderful to know, thank you :)

Ah no, not those things, sorry! :) but we do measure lots of root and microbial biomassa, glomalin, soil physical proporties..
Absolutely! In these permafrost monitoring sites we measure aboveground plant community composition and belowground soil communities and structure in relation to thermal insulation. The project also includes a lab experiment and panarctic meta analysis. www.unis.no/project/insu... thanks for asking!
Back on #Svalbard for #fieldwork! I am starting up my student teams, and we began by monitoring snowmelt progression and #permafrost thaw. Thawing has just begane and already we are measuring 30cm of thaw in quite a few places.. We will see how this develops..
A day with very few appointments and meetings means I can play around with my #arctic #shrub samples in the lab. Why oh why did I choose the tiniest, most difficult species ever (Salix polaris).. I gave up with this sample :) 1mm diameter incl. bark. #treerings #dendrochronology #svalbard
Life is good...

Proud to present this co-authored synthesis #paper on 40 years of #tundra #greening, featuring extensive regional syntheses and discussion of key implications and future directions.

Today @w-u-r.bsky.social joins the relay #strike against budget cuts in higher education
More spring excursions for our landscape geography students at Wageningen University @w-u-r.bsky.social. Today we explored the hydrology and plant communities of Dutuch dune ecosystems. We found many interesting plants and lots of horny wildlife :)
Kicking off the student #excursion season at the #Plant #ecology department of Wageningen uni! Today we explored #river associated plant communities at the #millingerwaard. Super warm and sunny for March, low water levels in the river and lots of fun!
