Following the gradual decline of Arctic sea ice, shipping using Arctic routes increased from
2010. This led to an upsurge in the number of studies investigating the potential of Arctic …

The observed decline in Arctic sea ice is projected to continue, opening shorter trade routes
across the Arctic Ocean, with potentially global economic implications. Here we quantify …

Due to global warming, the quantity of Arctic sea ice has been drastically reduced in recent
decades, consequently navigating the Arctic is becoming increasingly commercially feasible …

Rapid declines in Arctic sea ice coverage over the past four decades have increased the
commercial feasibility of trans-Arctic routes. However, the historical changes in navigability …

The limited availability of consistent, longitudinal data sources for marine traffic in Arctic
Canada has presented significant challenges for researchers, policy makers, and planners …

Several recent climate impact assessments on polar regions have been undertaken,
including the synthesis report on Snow, Water, Ice and Permafrost in the Arctic (AMAP …

This book offers the first comprehensive examination of Russia's Arctic strategy, ranging

One consequence of melting Arctic ice caps is the commercial viability of the Northern Sea
Route, connecting East Asia with Europe. This represents a sizeable reduction in shipping …

Climate models project continued Arctic sea ice reductions with nearly ice-free summer
conditions by the mid-21st century. However, how such reductions will realistically enable …

The accelerated decline in Arctic sea ice in recent decades suggests the possibility of future
trans-Arctic shipping routes linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, with significant …
