International Arctic Seas Assessment Project

Science of the Total Environment, 1999
The International Atomic Energy Agency responded to the news that the former Soviet Union had dumped radioactive wastes in the shallow waters of the Arctic Seas, by launching the International Arctic Seas Assessment Project in 1993. The project had two objectives: to assess the risks to human health and to the environment associated with the ...

The Future of Arctic Sea Ice

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2012
Arctic sea ice is a key indicator of the state of global climate because of both its sensitivity to warming and its role in amplifying climate change. Accelerated melting of the perennial sea ice cover has occurred since the late 1990s, which is important to the pan-Arctic region, through effects on atmospheric and oceanic circulations, the Greenland ...

Loss of Sea Ice in the Arctic

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2009
The Arctic sea ice cover is in decline. The areal extent of the ice cover has been decreasing for the past few decades at an accelerating rate. Evidence also points to a decrease in sea ice thickness and a reduction in the amount of thicker perennial sea ice. A general global warming trend has made the ice cover more vulnerable to natural fluctuations

Glaciers and Nutrients in Arctic Seas

Science, 1973
Significantly higher concentrations of nitrate and silicate were found in glaciated South Cape Fiord than in unglaciated Grise Fiord, in the Canadian Arctic, or in adjacent Jones Sound. No significant differences in phosphate concentrations were found.

The Arctic as a regional sea

Deep Sea Research Part B. Oceanographic Literature Review, 1985
Although many people still view the Arctic as little affected by human activity, the region has been the home of Man for thousands of years and its wildlife and ecology have been changed in many ways in the last four hundred years as a result particularly of the commercial and technical activities of western industrial nations.

Oceanography of the Arctic Seas

Reviews of Geophysics, 1975
Arctic oceanography has progressed during recent years in much the same manner as in the more temperate seas. There has been a great emphasis on current measurements [e.g., cf. Aagaard and Coachman, 1975], considerable interest in the upper boundary layer and in fine structure [e.g., cf.

Arctic Ocean-Sea Ice Interactions

Proceedings of the Practice and Experience on Advanced Research Computing, 2018
This animation visualizes simulation results from research at The University of Texas at Austin, Institute for Computational and Engineering Sciences. Shown is the daily average temperature field of warm sub-surface water of subtropical origin carried with the Norwegian Atlantic boundary current into the Arctic Ocean, northwestward along the West ...

The Arctic Sea Route

International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics, 2009
The thawing of Arctic areas will open all-year sea routes between the northern Atlantic and the northern Pacific, reduce the travel time between them in summer by 10-35%, make ten mill. sq-km accessible to mining and add one Middle East sized deposit to global hydrocarbon resources.

Fungi of the Arctic Seas

Microbiology
The abundance and diversity of mycelial fungi in the bottom sediments of the Arctic Ocean seas (the Greenland, Barents and Kara seas) were studied. Samples of the surface bottom sediments were collected during the 84th (July‒August 2021) and 86th (October‒November 2021) cruises of RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh.

The Dutch in the Arctic Seas

2013
Despite Holland's rich history as a major maritime power, by the time this work first appeared in 1876 the Dutch had long abandoned their exploration of the Arctic Circle. In this detailed study, noting the achievements of Dutch navigators, Samuel Richard van Campen (c.1833–c.1893) makes the case for new expeditions into the north, not only to ...
