The moving arctic soil (30-60Hp)
The sub-arctic soil is moving due to soil frost driven processes, either seasonally or during episodes
with changing environmental conditions. When the soil moves it physically translocates elements and
compounds originally stored with the surface soil into new environmental compartments (i.e. deeper
soil layers, surface waters etc) that ultimately may change their long-term fate in the sub-arctic. I can
supervise students interested in assessing how soil frost driven processes, such as cryoturbation,
gelifluction, patterned ground formation, thermokarst erosion etc, affects the long-term fate of
carbon, contaminants or other compounds stored in the sub-arctic soil. Depending on the students
own preferences, the project can consist to a variable degree of field-work, laboratory controlled
experiments, radiometric measurements or GIS-analysis.
