Svalbard Environment Monitoring System at UNIS
The intensification of human impact on the environment has reached unprecedented levels, and nowhere is this more evident than in the Arctic. The repercussions of these processes are readily observed, emphasizing the urgent need for collecting environmental data through automated monitoring stations...
