EventResearchers in August 2026 led the POLAR‑MOSS expedition in Svalbard’s Kaffiøyra, using the Nicolaus Copernicus Polar Station as their base. They set 28 sampling sites across 21 km², collecting 56 moss and soil samples over five days to map trace metals, metalloids, and PAHs in the Arctic atmosphere.
Scientists gathered moss and soil samples across 28 sites in Svalbard’s Kaffiøyra region to study trace metal, metalloid, and PAH deposition, enhancing understanding of atmospheric pollution paths in the Arctic.
Researchers from the POLAR‑MOSS project conducted a six‑day field study in Svalbard’s Kaffiøyra region, collecting 56 moss and soil samples across 28 stations to analyze trace metals, metalloids, and PAHs and better understand long‑range pollutant deposition in Arctic ecosystems.
