Their evolution is shaped by seasonal processes, which currently are largely unexplored because harsh weather conditions restrict field campaigns to the summer period. This collaborative project between US and UK researchers aims to measure biological, hydrologic, and chemical activity under the winter and spring snowpack, in soils near a retreating glacier in Svalbard, Norway, via continuously operated sensors and repeated field measurements. For the first time, this will enable us to quantitatively examine and model the development of Arctic soils.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>ORCHID:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2067-1701\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">0000-0003-2067-1701<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"row\" id=\"tabs-3\"><div class=\"col-12\"><h2 class=\"clearLeft\">Key papers<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li>Cimpoiasu, M O, Kuras, O, Pridmore, T, and Mooney, S J. 2021.
