Welcome to a lecture and workshop with the Centre for Traditional Technologies, Czech Republic.

Coffee/tea and something to eat is available for those who register: https://network.novia.fi/Events/406/Apply?lang=en&key=

The lecture (45 min) and the follow-up hands-on workshop (1 h) focus on historical sheep-wool processing in the Western Carpathians and introduce two distinct production traditions: a mountain tradition and a foothill tradition. The mountain tradition is characterised by work with coarse sheep’s wool and functional blends (e.g., goat hair, pig bristles), as well as a weaving technique on a form carried out without opening a shed (no-shed weaving). The foothill tradition includes blending wool with nettle fibre, the production of woollen broadcloth and no-shed weaving.

New paper published by Bourdin et al. in Ecosphere about Arctic krill 🦐 Tvärminne Zoological Station UiT Norges arktiske universitet Turun yliopisto - University of Turku Data were collected during the Arctic Marine Zooplankton course organized by The University Centre in Svalbard (UNIS) during a cruise on R/V Helmer Hanssen sailing around Svalbard. Svalbard is experiencing strong Atlantification, i.e., warmer and saltier water is brought in to the Arctic region. We found that krill in fjords affected by Atlantic water are low in energy, and they also have a high energy metabolism. This could be detrimental for some krill populations experiencing high variation in temperature and salinity, as they are key species in the food web.

Sedan 2022 har institutionen för bioekonomi jobbat med naturfibrer genom seminarier och projekt. Nu tackar projektet NorNa - Nordisk naturfiber i cirkulär ekonomi för sig, efter tre verksamhetsår. Höjdpunkter finns samlade i en storymap, och i slutrapporten presenteras olika aktörer som jobbar med lin, hampa, nässla och ull i de nordiska länderna. Länk till båda finns i blogginlägget:
