SIOS è alla ricerca di contributi per lo State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2026.
La serie di rapporti annuali SESS, pubblicata da SIOS, mette in luce le attuali conoscenze sull'ambiente delle Svalbard. È anche una piattaforma per la condivisione aperta di idee e raccomandazioni su come sviluppare il Sistema di Osservazione della Terra delle Svalbard per consentire una comprensione olistica del Sistema Terrestre delle Svalbard e dell'Artico in generale. I contributi al rapporto SESS sono redatti da team internazionali e multidisciplinari guidati da ricercatori delle istituzioni membri del SIOS. Tutti i contributi sono sottoposti a revisione paritaria. Gli autori possono contribuire attraverso capitoli di revisione che sintetizzano le conoscenze esistenti, analisi di tendenze e processi basati sui dati o aggiornamenti dei capitoli delle precedenti relazioni SESS.
Termine per la presentazione delle proposte: 4 febbraio 2026 - Per saperne di più e inviare una proposta: https://sios-svalbard.org/SESS_Issue9

SIOS is looking for contributions to the State of Environmental Science in Svalbard (SESS) report 2026.
The annual SESS report series, published by Svalbard Integrated Arctic Earth Observing System (SIOS), is an arena to highlight current knowledge of the environment of Svalbard. It is also a platform for open sharing of ideas and recommendations on how to develop the Svalbard Earth Observing System to enable a holistic understanding of the Earth System of Svalbard and the Arctic in general. SESS report contributions are written by international, multidisciplinary teams led by researchers from SIOS member institutions. All contributions undergo peer review. Authors can contribute through review chapters that synthesise existing knowledge, analyses of trends and processes based on data, or updates to chapters from previous SESS reports.

A multinational scientific team led by UiT, headed by ISP Director Guiliana Panieri, has uncovered the deepest known gas hydrate cold seep on the planet. The discovery was made during the Ocean Census Arctic Deep – EXTREME24 expedition and reveals a previously unknown ecosystem thriving at 3,640 metres on the Molloy Ridge in the Greenland Sea. The groundbreaking findings regarding the Freya Hydrate Mounds, which hold scientific significance and implications for Arctic governance and sustainable development, have recently been published in Nature Communication. -https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1110764 - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-67165-x

Since 2006, the Arctic Report Card, supported by NOAA and independently reviewed through AMAP’s international expert network, has provided annual updates on the rapid climate-driven transformations occurring in the Arctic.
The 2025 edition, written by 112 scientists from 13 countries, highlights new worrying trends: record temperatures, historic lows in sea ice, shrinking glaciers, unprecedented ocean warming, and extreme weather events. The Arctic is shifting from a reliably frozen system to a warmer, wetter, and increasingly unpredictable region.- AMAP PRESS RELEASE - Report Card - NOAA Arctic
