Welcome back #TundraTime team! 🙂This project, led by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has been supported by the station the last couple of seasons as it looks at the responses in plants to climate change in a warming Arctic. The team will revisit later this year & in 2026.

The Station is now open for the summer season! Already busy supporting two great projects - #COLDSHOULDERS with @arwynedwards.bsky.social and #CLIMARCTIC with Bjorn Tytgat from U. of Ghent. Looking forward to a busy summer season ahead with lots going on!👍

"I wish they could see how much it's lost so quickly."
