Ann (UiT) presenting ISOSCAN to Tromsø Scouts

This week, Ann and Eva have officially kickstarted the 2026 ISOSCAN citizen science snow sampling season from Tromsø.

Building on the foundation established in 2025, we have reconnected with valued partners at the university and with Tromsø Outdoor, who once again demonstrate how local expertise and mobility in Arctic winter landscapes are essential to our citizen science efforts.

At the same time, we are excited to announce new partnerships for 2026. Collaborations are now in place with Tromsø Skiguides and Tromsø Scouts, expanding both Continue reading →

The numbers are in – we have the final results from the laboratory for the ISOSCAN citizen science snow and water sampling in 2025 (see result table at the bottom of the page). We are looking at 43 samples in total, and 42 of those have relevant information about time and location with them that makes the data useful for our scientific analysis.

The samples have been taken over a wide range of locations, from the region around Tromsø, to the border regions between Norway and Sweden, to Finse in Southern Norway, and Lillehammer. Elevation ranges from close to sea level up to 1537 m above sea level. One sample was even taken on the top of Gråtinden mountain, only accessible by narrow ridges! Dear ISOSCAN’ers, please sample responsibly and don’t take any risk during the sampling that you would not take anyways!

Your samples will now in a first stage be placed on a map over Scandinavia Continue reading →
