Dirigibile Italia at the #ArcticCircleRomeForum!
Tomorrow at CNR in Rome Mauro Mazzola of @cnr-isp.bsky.social will chair the session "Svalbard: An Arctic Laboratory". Focus on this climate hotspot & global model for cooperation. A polar lab in the heart of Rome!
#CNR, #NPI, #AWI, #SIOS, #IGFPAN
Meet Chiara Ripa from CNR @cnr-isp.bsky.social in Ny-Ålesund! ❄️
In her first Arctic mission, she manages the base and monitors snow & atmospheric data for global research. Though a wildlife biologist at heart, she’s now the linchpin for polar science operations. 🏔️🔭

A Geo, Valentina Tamborra ha raccontato il viaggio alle Svalbard e la collaborazione con i ricercatori @cnrsocial. Un racconto diretto che illustra il lavoro quotidiano sul campo e l'impegno scientifico italiano in un ecosistema fragile.
And also from our station!!!
With the last updates from our station!

The snow of Svalbard tells a climate story and is a true natural laboratory for studying how climate influences the seasonal chemistry of snow.
A new article acp.copernicus.org/articles/25/... describes these changes.

Looking back on yesterday's wonderful #PolarPrideDay at our AWIPEV station in the Arctic on Spitsbergen. 🐻❄️🏳️🌈

Two new studies by our colleagues have demonstrated that emerging pollutants — such as pharmaceuticals, personal-care products, and endocrine disruptors, reach the Arctic cryosphere via medium- to long-range atmospheric transport.

In the framework of the #ISACCO, #PAGINA and #IONOsmart projects, INGV and Politecnico di Torino have just installed new scientific systems at the Dirigibile Italia base to study the polar ionosphere and the effects of space weather conditions on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals.

🇳🇴❄️ A strong delegation of Italian researchers is taking part in the Svalbard Science Conference 2025 in Oslo — a key international event dedicated to polar research and collaboration.
Proud to represent Italian scientific excellence within the global research community! 🇮🇹🔬🌍
At the 𝐀𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐧-𝐍𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐂𝐓, we installed: 🔹 A 𝟑𝟔𝟎° 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 to capture immersive views of the Arctic environment🔹 An innovative 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 in snow and soil

🔄 The fall 2025 mission of Project Sedna is underway!
We returned to Arctic waters to focus on phytoplankton, zooplankton, eDNA, and acoustic monitoring.
This research helps to understand how Arctic ecosystem and marine mammals are responding to climate change.
🔬 Science never stops.
Rivedi la puntata di @PresaDiretta.Rai dal titolo “Terra – Ultima chiamata”, dedicata ai #cambiamenticlimatici ed alle emissioni di #metano, con un servizio girato presso la nostra base ed il contributo dei ricercatori @cnrsocial!

Periodic inspection of the Amundsen-Nobile Climate Change Tower completed by @cnr-isp.bsky.social & @cnrisac.bsky.social teams. Installed 4 new thermo-hygrometers and 2 soil probes for temperature/humidity profiles. Funded by #arcticpassion, #Interact & #EniArtico.

TRACE-AtlantIC was a success! 🌊🚢
Using U-236 & I-129 tracers, we track Atlantification—how Atlantic waters reshape Arctic fjords.
CTD surveys in Kongsfjorden-Krossfjorden
Water samples collected
Key climate data secured
Thanks to CNR-ISP, DIFA UniBo & Arctic Field Grant 💙

🌍❄️ #BRISMIC: plants, microbes & soils in Arctic permafrost. Field + drone data to study #ClimateChange & #ArcticGreening.
The #FishMICRO mission to study Arctic fish #microbiomes in Svalbard has concluded. The samples collected will help us understand how #climatechange affects these fragile marine ecosystems.
The #EcoClimate 2025 activities successfully concluded. #Arctic lake greenhouse gas emissions were measured in real-time for the first time and nutrient inputs mapped. Data will improve predictions on #climatechange impacts on Arctic #biodiversity and wetlands' role in future climate regulation.
During the 2nd summer 2025 campaign for 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐔𝐒 project, IRET researchers maintained structures, took soil respiration data and upgraded temperature sensors. First data looks promising! Work by 𝐄. 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐳𝐳𝐢 & 𝐂. 𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐢, with key support from 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀. 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐨 (ISP). #ITEX #Arctic #CNR-IRET

The CYANACTALP project has completed its final #Arctic field campaign.
How does climate-driven greening of lake shores affect #cyanobacteria? Research by Camilla Capelli #SUPSI, in collaboration with #INRS, hosted at the Italian research station #DirigibileItalia thanks to #SwissPolarInstitute.
On 14 August 1925, the #SvalbardTreaty came into force. 🇮🇹 was among the original signatories, securing rights in the Arctic that we still honor today through science, diplomacy ❄️
The 2025 campaign by #IGG-CNR to measure CO2 fluxes in the tundra at the #DirigibileItalia base in #NyÅlesund, #Svalbard, aimed at understanding how photosynthesis and respiration are affected by climate change, has come to an end. Thanks to the Dirigibile Italia staff for their support.

✅ Mission complete! The second 2025 Project Sedna expedition ends successfully.
Drones, hydrophones, tags, and the sharp eyes of our researchers collected key data on how climate change affects marine mammals.
🔬 Now, the analysis begins!
