SAFETY TRAINING

The first day of safety training was mostly theoretical, apart from performing CPR on mannequins (Daniel’s died) and being wrapped like a burrito to survive hypothetical hypothermia. 



The second day started with a big bang, as we were brought to the shooting range at about 8:30 AM. More with luck than skill we all passed the assessment in kneeling position. Hugo would like to point out that he actually can shoot and he passed purely on skill, no luck involved, and Daniel even managed to hit the target 12 times with only 8 bullets. For any lefties considering coming out, there are no left-hand rifles, and to quote the instructor: “You guys are used to having life made difficult for you”.




The next exercise was putting up a tent and bringing a pot of water to the boil. Time-wise, the Norwegians beat us by far (even though we had Daniel) and their camp looked much better than ours as well (probably because we had Daniel).
To finish off the day, we were issued exposure suits (formerly called survival suits, wonder what happened there) and dropped off at the beach where we got a chance to wade into the water and try out some survival techniques before jumping off the pier.







 Thanks for reading, I better go do my homework now (no one told me that's still a thing here..)

Until next time, Mascha :)

Course Review of Physical Geography

Course Review of "AG-204 The Physical Geography of Svalbard" and "AG-221 Arctic Physical Geographical Field Techniques" In the Autumn Semester of 2018, Daniel, Hugo, Nick, and I (Mascha) studied Physical Geography at UNIS. For everyone considering taking the same course, here’s a little review that may help: So, let’s start on the general structure of the two courses. They are intentionally intertwined, with AG-204 being the more theoretical half while AG-221 is focussed more on practical skills. That allowed for a layout where you’d often learn about a certain topic in class the first half of the week and then would go out to do fieldwork relating to what you had learned towards the end of the week. We felt this kind of structure, where you get to apply your new knowledge, really consolidated the information in your mind without having to study too much. Another bonus is that we got to go out on fieldtrips at least once per week, which is much more...

The absolute true diary of a part time human living in a glacial dominated environment

Heya folks, it is me. This entry is more of a collection of various events, experiences and opinions so readers discretion is advised. Living in a polar environment has its challenges in various difficulty settings ranging from the cold and windy 30-minute walk to UNIS, writing a blog entry, finding the mysterious ghost who seems to be drawn to my milk in the fridge, finding Chicken Nuggets in the supermarket and mapping the local geomorphology.     Shopping here in Longyearbyen is an experience I wouldn’t even whish onto my worst enemy, sadly I have been told that the consumption of food is a necessary part of the human experience and a healthy diet can’t be substituted with cornflakes. My regular shopping experience here can be described in 4 stages. During the first stage I enter the shop with hopes, towards the frozen food aisle and skip through the costly fresh green and sweets section in search of the heavenly dish named chicken nuggets. The 2 nd stage is cl...

Reindeer faeces, satellites, presenting, sampling at sea and midnight sun

Hey y'all This is kind of a summary of the last two months ... Every time I want to tell a little bit more about something, another thing happens... By now, we finished the Arctic Environmental Management course. The exams were last Thursday/Friday. Only one month to go, with a 7-day long cruise around the Archipelago coming up this Saturday! Hohooo, we're all looking forward to this!! So, beginning with mid of March... W e were having field work out in Adventdalen where we sampled transects for Svalbard reindeer Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus to estimate their spatial distribution. We counted snowmobile tracks, reindeer tracks, reindeer faeces, recorded snow hardness and dug holes to count ice layers in the snowpack. Where are those faecal piles?? Snow hardness examination by the use of a dynamic cone penetrometer. The sampling went so quick, that we finished on the second day at lunchtime. We drove over to the other side of the valley ...
