| abstracts | The Arctic region has experienced rapid changes in the last few decades. The Arctic coasts in times of
progressing global warming are exceptionally vulnerable to erosion. Arctic sea-ice extent is decreasing
dramatically leaving coasts exposed to destructive action of waves. The lack of sea ice causes a dramatic
increase of wave energy reaching coastline. In order to provide insight into coastal changes in Arctic areas,
field measurements were carried out in the area of Calypsobyen, Bellsund, west Spitsbergen. Data of free-
surface elevation, wave orbital velocities, water currents and bathymetry were collected during expedition in
the western Spitsbergen. In the frame of this study a detailed analysis of wave field were performed. The
collected database constitute unique and valuable source of information on Arctic wave climate. |
