Increased ocean heat transport to the central Arctic despite a well working Barents Sea Cooling Machine [PDF]
The Barents Sea is a primary gateway for Atlantic Water entering the central Arctic Ocean and ubiquitous water-mass transformation on the Barents shelf is key for mitigating increases in heat transport to the central Arctic through the St.

A lithosphere-scale structural model of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region [PDF]
We introduce a regional 3-D structural model of the Barents Sea and Kara Sea region which is the first to combine information on the sediments and the crystalline crust as well as the configuration of the lithospheric mantle.

Analysis of the Cenozoic exhumation in the Barents Sea with thermochronological methods [PDF]
The Barents Sea area, located in the offshore Nowegian territory, is one of the main European target for petroleum exploration. By means of geo-thermochronology techniques and software that can elaborate thermal histories, Cenozoic evolution of the area ...

Summer weather conditions in 2005 and 2016 on the western and eastern coasts of south Spitsbergen [PDF]
In this study, atlases of wave characteristics and wave energy for the Barents Sea have been generated for the years from 1996 to 2015 based on ERA-Interim datasets from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).

Variation in the seston C:N ratio of the Arctic Ocean and pan-Arctic shelves [PDF]
Studying more than 3600 observations of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate organic nitrogen (PON), we evaluate the applicability of the classic Redfield C:N ratio (6.6) and the recently proposed Sterner ratio (8.3) for the Arctic Ocean and ...

Towards automatic detection of dark features in the Barents Sea using synthetic aperture radar [PDF]
Increased human presence and commercial activities in the Barents Sea (fishing, offshore oil and gas exploration) are amplifying the need for large-scale operational ocean monitoring of the eventual oil spills in the region. The geographical location and

Analysis of Disputed Territories in the Barents Sea [PDF]
As a result of the global warming, the situation in the Barents Sea leads to several important consequences. Firstly, oil and gas drilling becomes much easier than before. Therefore, it may raise the level of discussions on disputed shelf zones where the deposits are located, especially near to Norway-Russia sea border. Secondly, oil and gas excavation

Structure and petroleum prospects of the northern part of the Barents-Kara Sea region
The geological structure and the petroleum potential of the western part of the Russian Arctic shelf are still matter for disputes, especially due to the absence of deep drilling and scarce data.
