After a brief history of earlier endeavors at international cooperation in the Arctic, the article presents a brief account of the proceedings of the Conference of ArcticRim Countries, held in Leningrad in 1988. The proposals of each of the major sections of the conference are summarized and the...
The feasibility of detecting massive ice in permafrost by sensing the associated surface thermal anomalies with an airborne synchronous dual-channel infrared (I-R) line scanner is discussed in this first semi-annual report. Three broad areas of research are involved: (a) the determination and quali...
If we hada kind of system of governance that allowed us to includewhat we know in science-and to respond to it-wewould all be better off.1. People are not very concerned about worse climateissues in the Arctic, mainly becauseA. they don't spend time in the Arctic and they occurfar ...
No one knows how much warmer it is going to be, but scientists say that the change is going to be at least 2℃. They say that the ice in the Arctic (北极) is going to melt in the next years and a lot of the animals there are going to die. There is also going to be more ...

At the same time, climatologists say that Svalbard has seen the greatest increase in temperatures of any place in Europe over the last three decades. And while no one can attribute the event directly to global warming, virtually all climate studies show that the High Arctic, including Svalbard...
(In the Arctic, some species are blooming nearly a month earlier than they did a decade ago, according to a December study in the journal Biology Letters.) But the warming does not affect all plants equally, which could disturb the fragile(脆弱的)balance of ecosystems and open the door to...
Ice in its various forms poses severe problems for ships and offshore structures in the Arctic. Due to the increasing activity in that area, research dealing with ice has grown in importance. Analytical methods as well as model- and full-scale testing are applied in attempts to cope with ...
On the potential for climate change impacts on marine anthropogenic radioactivity in the Arctic regions Current predictions as to the impacts of climate change in general and Arctic climate change in particular are such that a wide range of processes relevant... M Karcher,I Harms,WJF Standring,....
