Limit shape phase transitions: a merger of arctic circles [PDF]
We consider a free fermion formulation of a statistical model exhibiting a limit shape phenomenon. The model is shown to have a phase transition that can be visualized as the merger of two liquid regions - arctic circles. We show that the merging arctic circles provide a space-time resolved picture of the phase transition in lattice QCD known as Gross ...

. Rain-on-snow (ROS) events can accelerate the surface ablation of sea ice, thus greatly influencing the ice–albedo feedback. However, the variability of ROS events over the Arctic Ocean is poorly understood due to limited historical station data in this

Yoik experiences and possible positive health outcomes: an explorative pilot study
Background: Yoik is an old vocal music tradition of Sami, the indigenous people inhabiting Northern Fennoscandia and Kola peninsula in Russia. Studies of music therapy (MT) and especially singing have documented improvements in social and overall ...

The tipping times in an Arctic sea ice system under influence of extreme events [PDF]
In light of the rapid recent retreat of Arctic sea ice, the extreme weather events triggering the variability in Arctic ice cover has drawn increasing attention. A non-Gaussian $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process is thought to be an appropriate model to describe such extreme event. The maximal likely trajectory, based on the nonlocal Fokker-Planck equation,

Vertical structure in chlorophyll profiles: influence on primary production in the Arctic Ocean
Subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM) layers are prevalent throughout the Arctic Ocean under stratified conditions and are observed both in the wake of retreating sea ice and in thermally stratified waters.

Twenty Years of the Arctic Council: International Law Aspects
The article covers the development and international law aspects of the Arctic Council formed in 1996 by the eight Arctic states in order to face the challenges of the global warming and the climate changes in the region.

The concept of an ‘Arctic Pedagogy’ is enticing. Arctic branding sells: for example, UiT is not just the ‘University of Tromsø’ but also the ‘The Arctic University of Norway’. Moreover, research in Scotland as part of the ‘New Northern Pedagogies Project’ is now investigating “how the principles of Arctic Pedagogy can support teacher education ...

Natural variability of the Arctic Ocean sea ice during the present interglacial
Significance Arctic sea ice is an important component of the Earth’s climate system, but prior to its recent reduction, its long-term natural instabilities need to be better documented.

Determination of plant silicon content with near infrared reflectance spectroscopy
Silicon (Si) is one of the most common elements in the earth bedrock, and its continental cycle is strongly biologically controlled. Yet, research on the biogeochemical cycle of Si in ecosystems is hampered by the time and cost associated with the ...

Arctic curves for paths with arbitrary starting points: a tangent method approach [PDF]
We use the tangent method to investigate the arctic curve in a model of non-intersecting lattice paths with arbitrary fixed starting points aligned along some boundary and whose distribution is characterized by some arbitrary piecewise differentiable function.
