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.

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
