HL was funded by a NERC PhD studentship (NE/I528050/1) at Queen Mary University of London, the Queen Mary Postgraduate Research Fund, and an Arctic Field Grant from the Research Council of Norway through the University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS). SL acknowledges funding from the Westfield Trust. JCY was funded by a Carlsberg Foundation grant (2007/01/0383). A Royal Geographical Society Peter Fleming Award and a grant from the National Geographic Committee for Research and Exploration to Andy Hodson helped fund some of the fieldwork. We thank Norsk Polarinstitutt for access to the cabin at Slettebu and the logistics staff at UNIS for fieldwork support, in particular Lars Frøde Stangeland, Martin Indreiten, and Jukka Pekka Ikonen. We would also like to thank Andy Hodson, the organisers and participants of the Sheffield University Grønfjord Expedition and the UNIS students on AG-340 in 2011 and 2012. The comments and suggestions from anonymous reviewers and the editor, Markus Stoffel, have significantly improved the paper. Peer reviewed
