Webpages tagged with «The Cold Climate Container»

The Cold Climate Container is a modular laboratory facility and workshop designed to simulate atmospheric, hydrological and biological processes at high latitudes. The container has advanced instrumentation for studying ice formation and generating artificial snow that mimics a range of natural snowfall properties (e.g. habits). The lab allows for long-term experiments investigating how ecosystems respond to varying temperatures and snow covers. It is currently in use in research projects and teaching purposes at the Dept. of Geosciences, UiO. It can be booked for additional experiments by project partners and external users, depending on availability.
