The effects of climatic changes are particularly pronounced at these ends of the Earth and have already attracted worldwide attention and concern. Many recent articles related to the International Polar Year underscore the importance of even basic mapping of the Arctic and Antarctic....
This human population is the biggest contrast between the two poles,the Arctic has been inhabited by people for many thousands of years whereas the Antarctic has never had any permanent residents. There are many groups of Arctic peoples such as the Inuit, Chukchi, Sami, Yupik, Buryat and Inupi...

The genes with software- called high effects were mapped to KEGG pathways (Kanehisa and Goto, 2000; Kanehisa et al., 2014; http://www.genome.jp/kegg/tool/map_pathway1. html). To identify the dominant microbes in the Arctic metagenome, Metawatt (Strouss et al., 2012) was used to bin...
Such preparations as the Arctic Bibliography, the Glacial Map of Canada, and the basic revision for Canada's new "Arctic pilot," are typical of the work to which the Institute is well suited, and there have also been compilations of subject and site bibliographies. The Library of the ...
