Technical annex on the determination of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in biota.
(HELCOM, Helsinki, Finland, 2021)(PFAAs) are global environmental contaminants. PFOS and PFOA are chemically and biologically inert and very stable (Poulsen et al. 2005). PFOS meets the P (Persistent) and vP (very Persistent) criteria due to slow degradation. ... -
Towards an advanced observation system for the marine Arctic in the framework of the Pan-Eurasian Experiment (PEEX).
(2019)The Arctic marine climate system is changing rapidly, which is seen in the warming of the ocean and atmosphere, decline of sea ice cover, increase in river discharge, acidification of the ocean, and changes in marine ... -
Towards improved estimates of sea-ice algal biomass: experimental assessment of hyperspectral imaging cameras for under-ice studies.
(2017)Ice algae are a key component in polar marine food webs and have an active role in large-scale biogeochemical cycles. They remain extremely under-sampled due to the coarse nature of traditional point sampling methods ... -
Towards seasonal Arctic shipping route predictions.
(2017)The continuing decline in Arctic sea-ice will likely lead to increased human activity and opportunities for shipping in the region, suggesting that seasonal predictions of route openings will become ever more important. ... -
Traditional Ecological Knowledge of Polar Bears in the Northern Eeyou Marine Region, Quebec, Canada.
(2018)Polar bears are important socio-cultural symbols in the communities of the Eeyou Marine Region (EMR) in northwestern Quebec, Canada. Members of the Cree communities in this region are generally not active polar bear hunters, ... -
Trait-based approaches in rapidly changing ecosystems: A roadmap to the future polar oceans.
(2018)Polar marine regions are facing rapid changes induced by climate change, with consequences for local faunal populations, but also for overall ecosystem functioning, goods and services. Yet given the complexity of polar ... -
Trends in Winter Light Environment Over the Arctic Ocean: A Perspective From Two Decades of Ocean Color Data.
(2020)The last few decades have seen a decrease in Arctic ice cover, leading to changes in the structure and function of marine ecosystems. Yet sustained long-term observations of the marine environment are difficult to acquire. ... -
UArctic Research Infrastructure Catalogue. [Database Online]
(2022)The UArctic Research Infrastructure Catalogue is an online database for searching and identifying research infrastructures and facilities of UArctic member institutions. Listing your facilities helps increase your institution's ... -
Understanding the structure and functioning of polar pelagic ecosystems to predict the impacts of change.
(2016)The determinants of the structure, functioning and resilience of pelagic ecosystems across most of the polar regions are not well known. Improved understanding is essential for assessing the value of biodiversity and ... -
Using local ecological knowledge as evidence to guide management: A community-led harvest calculator for muskoxen in Greenland.
(2020)Indigenous people manage or have tenure rights on over a quarter of the world's land surface. While there is growing interest in “evidence-based” natural resource management, there are few documented experiences with ... -
Using modelled prey to predict the distribution of a highly mobile marine mammal.
(2020)Species distribution models (SDMs) are a widely used tool to estimate and map habitat suitability for wildlife populations. Most studies that model marine mammal density or distributions use oceanographic proxies for marine ... -
A versatile marine modelling tool applied to arctic, temperate and tropical waters.
(2020)The improved understanding of complex interactions of marine ecosystem components makes the use of fully coupled hydrodynamic, biogeochemical and individual based models more and more relevant. At the same time, the ... -
Water Quality Monitoring Field Manual.
(Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council , Science Department, Anchorage, Alaska, 2017)This manual is a reference tool for technicians conducting water sampling under the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) protocols. The YRITWC protocols were developed using the United ... -
Welcome to the Arctic. [Visitor Guidelines]
(Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO), Longyearbyen, Svalbard, 2019)General guidelines for travelers visiting the Arctic. Tourism and cruise activities in the Arctic operate within a comprehensive framework of international and national laws and regulations to ensure safety and preservation ... -
What does the Polar Code mean for ship safety?
(International Maritime Organization, London, UK, 2017)The aim is to provide for safe ship operation and the protection of the Polar environment by addressing risks present in Polar waters and not adequately mitigated by other instruments -
What is Effective Research Communication? Towards Cooperative Inquiry with Nunavut Communities.
(2020)Communication is recognized as the foundation of developing partnerships in science. In this study, we assess the effectiveness of several communication processes, practices, and tools used by wildlife researchers in ... -
White Paper on European Polar infrastructure access and interoperability, including an infrastructure implementation plan for the European Polar Research Programme.
(EU-PolarNet, Bremerhaven, Germany, 2020)European nations operate world-class research infrastructures in the Arctic and Antarctic, which result from a long history of polar research and significant investments made by national polar programmes. The European Polar ... -
White paper on management and utilization of large whales in Greenland. [Presented at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the International Whaling Commission].
(Government of Greenland, Ministry of Fisheries, Hunting & Agriculture, Greenland, 2012)Within the IWC context, Greenland’s hunt of large whales falls in the category of Aboriginal Subsistence Whaling (ASW) together with the whaling of the Russian Federation, St. Vincent and The Grenadines and the USA. For ... -
